Huh? Pre-74? You mean pre 70 right?

Ok I know I may get flamed and I've been trying to keep my mouth shut. The 912market is very small and these cars are special to those that own them and???
Just because they are early SWB & LWB Porsche does not, and in my opinion will not make them desirable.

To me they're basically a hybrid between the 356 & the 911.. and I'd take either or...unless I was buying the 912 as a parts donor!
Oh, don't get me wrong.. there are some really nice 912s out there, original cars and beautifully restored ones.. but that is such a niche market. In other words.. the guy who buys one specifically wants a 912.. there aren't many of those guys!

There are many other cars that one could purchase for the same money that will do a lot better than the 912 over the long haul.
