1976 Porsche 912

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1976 Porsche 912E. A one-year-only model intended to replace the 914 (until the 924 went into production) and positioned as a cheaper four-cylinder alternative to the 911, these cars have all of the style of a 911 (and arguably better handling characteristics) but at a more approachable price point. This 912E runs and drives great and is mechanically well sorted, but definitely has a rat rod aesthetic - if patina is your thing, this is the car for you. Although the paint is peeling off in sections, 1976 was the first year for galvanized bodies for both the 911 (and of course also for the 912E) - the body is straight and solid with no known rust. 15-inch Fuchs wheels are wearing Kumho Ecsta tires with plenty of tread and 2021 date codes.

Interior is complete but showing some wear - the front seats would benefit from covers or reupholstery. However, the dash is crack-free and all gauges are clear and working, including the clock. Blaupunkt Toronto AM/FM stereo with aux input, USB and bluetooth. Under present enthusiast ownership for the last five years. Clean and clear Georgia title.

Power comes from the same VW/Porsche flat four that powered the 914 2.0. The engine retains its factory Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection and was rebuilt under prior ownership. A major engine-out service in 2023 included a valve adjustment, new valve cover gaskets, and a complete tune-up. Additional recent service and upgrades under present ownership includes new vacuum lines, a new battery, rebuilt shift linkage, new throttle linkage bushings, new fuel injector connectors and terminals, a new air intake boot, plus sway bars, a strut brace and a brake job. The gearbox feels particularly good with no crunchy synchros and no slop in the shift linkage.

This car runs and drives very nicely, and is certainly the cheapest point of entry for a G-Body Porsche 911/912 (which runs and has a clear title). Its due for an interior refresh and new paint, or drive it as is and have the most approachable Porsche in town. Original owners book, collapsible spare, and service records from present ownership are included with the sale.
