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

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. |

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. |

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

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

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.

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?

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

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 ! |
