Hey goofball, that was already highlighted in the "affordable" thread. This thread is for EXCEPTIONAL 912's... Now be on your way little one...

An awesome 912 done right.

The coil(s ?!?!) wiring is first rate, and the fuel filter and fuel accumulator stuffed into the left side, well away from their pesky mount bracket, is a nice, custom touch (different than Phat's "nice touch"), too!

Oh, and you've gotta love the wide open paths to the ground on the left and right sides of the engine - always a good idea to draw super heated air from the exhaust up, and blow it back over the cylinders and heads!

More poop than scoops baby. This '80s sled is a tribute to the finer things in life.

Hey Matt, I might be getting my hands on a 69 912 that's been sitting for about 7 years. Waiting on pics but it's complete and was running. BTW...see the trash talk on me a few posts earlier? Dude bought that nice silver 73 RS in May of '15, gave me a partial payment (agreed full payment within ONE week!), a month later I offered to refund his entire partial payment and realist the car, then he finally paid the rest in mid July! Car was then picked up to go to Europe...never heard from him again. Now a year and a half later he's chiming in? What a tool. I would have gladly worked with him if there were any issues within reason, but again, he NEVER contacted me again. That was a killer car, rust free, with a great built and dry engine that he bought for $50k or $55k if I recall. Gotta love it.

Hey Dan, I didn't see anything here where you are being trashed?

I do know you are really forthright and that you have offered me some really good opportunities (below market) on a couple of p-cars..

I can definitely vouch for your character (and general good guyness as a fellow South Carolinian)...

I would ask the mods to remove the trash talking post until you can try to resolve.

(BTW, how is your property recovering after the flooding from Matthew? I will buy that 17k mile 930 with a steep flood car discount!lol...)

MattR

Thanks Matt, I appreciate the kind words. All my cars were moved to high ground days before the hurricane hit. We just moved back in after being out for a little over 5 weeks. Clean up is always fun! That 930 won't be for sale for a while. : )

OBE : overcome/overtaken by events....sorry for my military jargon...

Beware this car is not original paint

did you inspect? or can tell by pics?

Inspected. Best I can tell there was probably an issue with the clear coat and the car was repainted by the dealer very early on. Paint quality is poor but it appears very old.
