1976 Porsche 912E For Sale.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 912E was produced for one year only in 1976 to fill the gap between the 914 and the 924 in the Porsche lineup. The cars are quite rare as only 2,092 were built, all for the North American market. However, due to their fully galvanized high quality Theissen steel bodies (a first for Porsche in ’76) and reliable 4 cylinder air cooled 2.0 liter engine from the 914, Porsche estimates that at least half of these cars are still on the road today! Incidentally, the E stands for “Einspritzer”, which is the German word for fuel injection, in this case, the new for 1976, Bosch L- Jetronic.<\/p>\n

This example was sold new in California and was purchased used in 1982 at Anderson-Behel Porsche in Santa Clara by the same family consigning it with us now.<\/p>\n

The car starts readily and runs and drives well.<\/p>\n

The interior was recently refreshed and upgraded with new padding and leather upholstery of the front Recaro seats, replacement of the vinyl upholstery in the rear, a new headliner in original spec material and rebuild of the original front door pockets which feature the lift up covers. The car is straight and not rusty (fully galvanized body and living in CA and Colorado since new and garaged when not driven helped) but the paint finish (# 106-9-2 Talbot Yellow) is compromised with numerous chips, a few dings and some fading. Gaps and glass are all good.<\/p>\n

I say drive it as is which it does very nicely (pluses are its 5 speed manual transmission, good handling, 25-26 mpg on regular gas).<\/p>\n

There are its purchase documents, an Owners Manual, service records and receipts back to 1982 along with its original CA blue plates. The car is sold with a clear Colorado title. The odometer reads just over 161,900 miles which we’re very sure is its original mileage given the records. Records show that the original engine was rebuilt and the clutch replaced. JUST SOLD – THANK YOU <\/strong><\/p>\n

Please feel free to inquire anytime, thanks.<\/p>\n

You may notice that in some of the photos the car looks lighter or darker; some of this is due to the sun and clouds but there is some actual paint color contrast is some of the panels too; ie the right rear quarter panel reads “lighter” than the adjacent engine compartment lid and right door.<\/p>\n

The two liter (1,971 cc) engine was essentially the same motor that came with the Porsche 914 2.0 but now had a new unique fuel injection system; the Bosch L-Jetronic which took Porsche engineers two years to develop and refine. The engine produced 90 hp at 4900 RPM yet with a low compression ratio (7.6:1) it could run on regular gas. Equipped with its 21 gallon gas tank and fuel efficient engine, its 600 mile (965km+) plus driving range may be the best of any Porsche.<\/p>\n

Engine # 4061249 is the original engine to the car.<\/p>\n
