I saw that...Making me consider a full restoration project.

Got the engine and trans out of the car today. Trans is a 901/0 which would mean its from a 1965 911? Serial# is 100274

The restoration cost of your car to that standard would probably be more than that car sold for.
Cars that go for big money are untouched originals or nut and bolt restorations on nice originals. If you chose to restore yours to that level you will have a huge investment in time and money, if you want the restoration experience, go for it, but more than likely you can buy one done cheaper.
We have all seen the ads that say "invested huge money but will sell for this, my loss is your gain" do not be that guy.
Build this car into something you want to drive/own or sell it as is if you want to make the most money on it.

Porsche owners should print this out in large type and put it on their refrigerator doors.

This is the most solid advice given so far on this car, in my opinion. Your car is already altered. No amount of restoration will undo that. It will always have the "brought back from....." and therefore NOT be a "true survivor". There is a 66 912/911R that was listed in the classifieds here for $39,500 and lasted all but a day before a deposit was taken. There will always be a nicer car out there....closer to original...etc...you will fight against it forever. Build your car to what YOU want it to be, enjoy it for as long as YOU like, then sell it for what YOU feel is a good price.
I have no intention of getting my money back out of the next Porsche I buy. ****, I've already lost enough because of the craziness of the market with these cars, I figure next one I'm not even gonna think of resale. I'm gonna do it the way I want and take my lumps. That said, I would never do anything to these cars that is irreversible. They're pretty awesome as it, but nothing wrong with taking advantage od todays updates available.

Worth considering. I like type IVs.

Matt Monson 01-21-2015 07:18 AM

Type IV is bolt in. 911 requires cutting out original mounts and welding in new. Might not matter to you.
Look up Speedo's 911R the beginning thread if you want inspiration for a 912-6 project.

CountD 01-21-2015 08:49 AM

Holy moly. I was way off on my thinking for 912 values. Wow.

Thanks I appreciate the heads up. A lot of material looks to have been cut out to put on my flares, so i'm on the lookout for some swb flares that include the torsion bar hole and more metal.

Jonnydaz53 01-23-2015 02:34 PM

Looking for the same thing with the same problem , no chance think you got to go new ....

Brett Voigt 05-09-2015 07:21 AM

I'm in the same boat with my 69' 912. Supposedly the original engine blew in 2001, so it'll never be back to original, but knew that when I bought it. That in mind, I see it with the "fixie" mentality with the goals of light, reliable, cool.

As for selling it... I'd say keep it clean and tackle as much rust as you can for one more year. At the rate these are shooting up in price, you may sell it for more than you payed...

The market continues to March forward.

It's crazy isn't it... I see roached out ones, no engine, and some rust going for more than what I payed for mine, 10 months ago.

osiris2600 05-10-2015 09:56 AM

So I was at an auction this Saturday and passed on an original 67 912 that was sitting in a gentlemen garage for decades. It sold for 15.5 without buyers premium. I thought that was insane. Am I right or did I miss out?

Matt Monson 05-10-2015 10:03 AM

If it wasn't a rust bucket, you missed out.

Welp. Next time I'll post here to see if there are any takers. I wasn't interesting in keeping it so. It would have been a flip.

It wasn't a rust bucket. Last I checked 912s were advertised at high 20's. Had no idea theybe jumped to 80s. This is just insane.

Car was actually similar, in conditiom, to this 912 1966 Porsche 912 for sale #1733008 | Hemmings Motor News

Noooo... Let's not use a BHCC car for comparison, or anything really... Those guys invented hidden rust, bondo and colorful misrepresentation ! Motormeister has nothing on them !

Nice 912s (not E) are 30-80K cars now - higher end would be a concours soft window targa, obviously. Driver condition coupé with a solid pan, 30? Nice rust free coupé probably 40K. At least that's what I see out there, or more (and what I'll price mine at soon)

Why not? If an early S is $200K+ now, that car is more than 1/4 the fun and looks identical. And you can drive the p$$$ out of them and never risk your license. Love'em !
