Got a lead on a '66 912, and was wondering what a reasonable offer would be to make on it. It seems like it's had all the work done on it that usually sucks up the most money, and doesn't appear to need much else done on it except new seat covers, although I haven't seen it in person yet. Here's the info I got from the owner:
