I realize everything that looks at all like a 1965-1998 911 is experiencing some degree of speculative driven investment and I'm not trying to participate/profit from that - I got curious about the 912 when I did the mental exercise of evaluating it based on its merits alone. A drop dead beautiful, pure, well made sports car that came in great colors, is well supported by the aftermarket and has a still very sporty (ie - not british tractor) motor even though its tempting to compare it to the six.
I know more about Alfa than Porsche. Compare 912 to the 'stepnose' Giulia Sprint GT - the 912's equal in looks, displacement, sophistication, beauty of interior etc. There is relatively little froth in the Alfa market. The same forces that are effecting every old car still apply, but there is not a feeding frenzy. The Alfa sells for 40-60k (more for #1 at auction but let's leave that out) easily based on their merits. Therefore why isn't the 912 worth the same?
And BTW if you're selling one, holler at me.
