2500+/- miles on rebuilt engine with Weber carbs,JE pistons,headers,backdated heater boxes custom grind cam by dougherty racing, electromotive ignition(no distributor),1972 front oil cooler and 5 Speed 915 trans...This car is a blast to drive I just do not have time for it. Drive it home ...... make an offer on the pair and bring a friend to drive them both home.

Red interior,911gauges( with rebuilt speedo replaced at engine rebuild and zeroed(oil,tank/temp,tach,fuel,clock). Original vehicle miles were about 85k. Blaupunkt AM/FM with Cassette.Auxillary defroster fan mounter in smugglers box and tied to windsheild vents. White exterior w/ black trim Vent wing windows, rear quarter windows pop-open,whale tale, floor pan replaced,Steel rear fenders flares 1974 replica bumpers. Silver light head lights...Bosch fogs lights, 911 gauges , , short throw shifter, Rennline front strut brace.

Paint is not perfect There oare a couple of small areas that have bubbled. Interior seats need upolstery work. Overall a good car . needs the 2500 mile tune-up( valves ,oil etc)

It seems overpriced to me, but an interesting car.
Thoughts?

I'll be the first neck on the chopping block. $10K - Maaaaybe 11.

Last month a similar '68 912 with a 2.7l swap sold for over $20k. This car is a little rougher and has the wrong rear end on it, but it's upside is it has what appears to be a hot rod 3.0l engine that easily cost $10K to put together. I'd say the asking price is in the right ball park.

I'm thinking somewhere in the middle for this one: $15-16K. You're going to spend some money getting rid of the tail and rear bumpers for these are now very very pricey.

And then what do you have? A nice looking and fast 912-6... that appears to have a LWB conversion done to it.

Oh, and I might put it at a higher number if the interior were all '68 and nice, but without any interior images, no.

Even though there weren't pictures, I assumed a decent interior. If it's ragged or has SC doorcards, I would ding the car $5-7K.

For that price why not buy a mid year 80' and have a real car instead of a copy - cat. If they had keep the 912 body look than it would be a 912-6 hot rod but they changed it to an SC but keep the 912 badge....what the duh?
