1976 912E Price Check

[wcroty]

Can someone give me an idea of what a 76 912E in very good all original condition with 57,000 miles is worth?

Thanks in advance

I think something like that, assuming it's in nice shape, is going for around $10K these days.

Unless it's way underpriced, you don't have to deal with smog in your area, and you plan to put a 170hp Raby engine in it I'd pass.

IMHO, a 912E would be kind of annoying to own. It would be slow. It has a 914 2L engine that is choked down by a thermal reactors, EGR, and a smog pump. That engine with the more free flowing heat exchangers was fine in the lighter 914 but makes for a slow 912. There are also a bunch of parts that are unique to the 912E and hard to find.

Thanks for the help

An absolutely gorgeous original with about 10k less miles went in the last year for around 12.5K in So. Calif. It still needed a couple of K to bring it ,like new, mostly suspension work.

Anthony, nothing personal please, but you need to drive a well sorted one. They are a great ride and a kick a$$ autocross car. And a good one will pass Calif. smog WO the TRs.

I had one for a bit. Ten grand is just about the top of the market, because for just a bit more, you are into 911 territory.

If you find someone looking specifically for an E, you may get a bit more if it is pretty near perfect.

In CA they go for good bucks ONLY if the COMPLETE FI and exhaust is there. It's a one off model with a 2.0 914 motor.....the 2.0 came with L Jet FI....in the 914 D Jet.....it came with a special 915/923 trans.......

Outside of CA, they go for more because you can hot rod them....

I have a well sorted 914 with the same engine. It's a blast to drive, mid-engined, and hundreds of pounds lighter than a 912e. But, it's still way underpowered compared to my SC.

Mine was in very nice shape. I sold it to a friend, who resold it just a month or two ago for $9000.

I don't plan on owning another 912. Pretty underpowered, and a relatively short RPM band. You've got to shift gears pretty frequently to get any performance out of the car.

I started looking at 912 E jst out of curiosity, but really it seemed like a 912E and a 911S were going for about the same $$.

Here is a '77 911 that is offered for 10,500.

And there was another mid-year for the same amount in the for sale section I'll find it and add it to the list:

Just know about the weaknesses of the 2.7L 911 engine before buying a car.

The 912E was, however, a great highway cruiser. Once up to speed, it gets over 30 mpg, and with the same big gas tank as the 911, it has a great range.

Great cross country car, but you've gotta use the clutch a lot around town.

I had a 912E for about ten years; the most grossly underpowered car I ever had. It was a beautiful car, one a parent would buy for their 16 year old child...can't do much with the car & heaven forbid if you burn out the engine...it's a VW engine.

Has anyone seen my old 912E, #90? Sold it about three/four years ago in SoCal?
