1976 Porsche 912E The 912 line from Porsche was manufactured from 1965 through 1969 and was a variant of the Type 911. Initially it outsold the 911 which would later become one of the most famous sports cars of all time. In 1976 the 912E model was released for the US only and featured a Porsche designed VW flat 4 motor. These cars were nimble, compact, performance sports cars that also were very economical when it comes to fuel. 2,100 were produced and they filled the position of the 914 while Porsche was working on the 924 for release in 77. The 912E you see here is a great looking car that runs just as well. It is painted a nice Black paint and the wide body kit accentuates the originally body lines perfectly. The kit along with the custom wheels (18x8-F, 18x10-R) were purchased from Better Bodies out of California. They really add to the cars already sporty look and sets it apart from other stock 912Es out there. Although it is not currently in place the car also comes with the whale tail to mount on the back. The glass is all in great shape and has all new rubber for the windshield and rear window. Powering this car down the road is a 2.0L Type 4 flat 4 motor that is original to the car. The E in 912E stands for Einspritzung which is translated to injection. These motors were originally fuel injected but this one has had that removed and replaced with dual weber carbs with 40mm downdrafts. The original injection system does come with the car should the next owner want to return it to stock. The motor is paired with a 5 speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly with no issues. The car has 4 wheels disc brakes and is extremely fun to drive!
The interior is done in Black and has just been redone. It features all new leather upholstery, new door panels, a new headliner and new carpet. The bucket seats are comfortable and feature diamond stitching in the middle. The dash has the original layout but has been upgraded with a GPS speedometer and Pioneer AM/FM/CD player. This is an extremely fun car with some subtle modifications that really make it look tough. If you have never had the opportunity to drive a Porsche then you are missing out because they are in a league of their own. Many people see the Porsche name and picture dollar signs but this one is being offered up at a very reasonable price so don't miss out! This car has been SOLD! Please check out our other ads!
