From: Chris Nicol; Wed Nov 08, 2000; nicol4@home.com; Hi Rick, I placed a wanted add on your page on Sept.19 and I have had a good response to it. I am in contact with a fellow in San Bernadino California who has a 1976 912E he wants to sell me his price is more then fair and we are going to buy the car in March. Thank you for the great web page. I have some pictures of the car we ae buying at this link http://www.members.home.net/nicol4/porsche.html Thanks, Chris & Tyler Nicol From: Philip Daniel Randolph; Tues Nov. 07, 2000 pdr01@csufresno.edu ; I am interested in purchasing a 65-67 912. What are some of the main areas I should check for rust? I know that some vehicles are more prone to rusting in certain places. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Phil Randolph pdr01@csufresno.edu From: Gayle Gordon; Fri Nov 03, 2000; gayle@3web.net ;Gr eetings, I am considering the purchase of a 912. I believe the year is 1968. It is a Karmann Coupe # 12800628. Paint colour 63-6801-L (red). It comes with a 5 speed transmission. I am trying to establish whether the original motor is in the car. Should the numbers match? The engine number is 12800575( if I remember properly, I didn't write it down.) How do I tell if the transmission is original with this car? I am considering a race conversion, gutting the inside(except the dash) and installing a cage and racing recaros. The original interior is complete, and in pretty good shape. All the mechanical systems have been redone. Apparently the motor and transaxle were completely rebuilt. ( it has the 4 cyl. ) I am told the motor dyno'd on the bench at 120 hp. but I find this hard to believe. Also the braking system completely rebuilt. The brakes are original and there are 1/2" wheel spacers on the rotors. It has an aftermarket exhaust with headers and two mufflers ending in twin tips with "Monza" on them. It has a wing, it is the standard Porsche wing with the rubber sides. It also has a what is reputed to be a European GT style front end with a cutout for a 24" oil cooler and ducts for brake coolers. It is shod with Fuchs silver on black wheels, I didn't notice if they are alloy or steel or both. The car needs complete new floors and a fair bit of exterior bodywork. A bad body job needs to be undone. It is structurally sound where it counts, susp. points etc... Oh yeah it also comes with a complete new set of front ball joints from Germany, still in the boxes. The original gas heater, completely rebuilt but not installed. A Momo steering wheel and Monaco mirrors. Both older but of indeterminate age. I am sure the arranged price is a mighty good bargain, and I will be saving it from a V8 conversion. I race Solo 2 on Sundays in a toyota wagon...enuff said. Thank You Very much for reading this far. If you can answer any of my questions or point me in the right direction I would be mighty appreciative. I have dreamed of owning a Porsche since I was a child. ( who hasn't? ) Sincerely Ian Gordon gayle@3web.net or: ig@cyberian.ca or: icbm@3web.net From: Linda Brandt; Sat Oct 28, 2000; lindabrandt@earthlink.net; Just wanted to let you know that I won't be needing my wanted add as I found a fabulous 912 down in California last weekend. The buyer found my add through your website! I had a really great response. Thanks much for providing this great service. -Linda Brandt From: Carl R. Perry; Sat Oct 07, 2000; cperry@northland.lib.mi.us; Hello: What a great site. Used it to purchase a 912e #1671. Thanks, C Perry email at cperry@northland.lib.mi.us From: Colette Hamann; Sun Sept 17,2000; csh@internetcds.com; Hi folks, You put an ad on yesterday for me for the 912E manual. Well it sold already! Thanks for your help, and a GREAT website. I found my car on your website and will be forever greatful! Take care, Dave Hamann Grants Pass,OR From: Downtown Bible Class; Tues Sept 05, 2000; dbc@swbible.org; I'm looking at a 912E. Two things I have a question about. All photos as well all 912E's I have seen have small chrome mirrors, and chrome side window trim. This car has large body color mirrors, and black anodized side window trim. Was this an original option or has the car been altered. Car also has electric windows. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave From: bsr; Sun Sept 03, 2000; bsr@mich.com; great web site keep up the great work. brian From: Keith Oelzen; Thurs Aug 24, 2000; kwoelzen@aol.com; Hello, and thank you for hosting this wonderful site. I have about 2 hours ago received delivery of a 1968 Porsche 912, Karman manufactured, sand beige, showing 68,000 miles (Accuracy of which has yet to be confirmed, but I suspect it to be true). Just from looking over the site for the last few days: I have already planned for several thousand hours (if not dollars), to be spent in the near future on this exciting new toy. From: ALEX HERON; Wed Aug 02, 2000; alexjheron@hotmail.com; Hi I live in the UK and I am seeking advice regarding shipping a 912 to the UK. can anyone help me find a shipping agent(is that all I need) on either coast. anyone had experience of shipping to the UK or Europe recently thanks in advance. Alex From: Michael B. Harris; Sat Jul 29, 2000; harrism@acs.ucalgary.ca; Can someone please
help. I'm looking at a 67 912 for sale and have a very ignorant question. From: Gielen Gunther; Thurs Jul 27, 2000; Gunther.Gielen@artesiabc.be; Hi, I am going to soon be looking at a '67 912, but I know very little about them. I was wondering if someone (an owner) can give me some advice on what I should look for? Are there any common problems with this model ? If there has been put in a new motor, what type is preferable? Is a 1700cc enough? What was the original cylinder-amount of the car? Every comment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Gunther Gielen From: Craig Sweeny; Tues Jul 25, 2000; sweeny@duckham-mcdougal.com; Hello- I am considering a 912 available on the ebaymotors auction site. The car is apparently 'perfect' except for the rusted out floors. I was wondering if anyone at this site or related to this site could visit this particular auction and provide an opinion as to the viability of the car for restoration - based on what's shown of course. p.s. I am new to the world of Porsche so any advice is good advice! sweeny@duckham-mcdougal.com From: Peperspace; Sun Jul 23, 2000; Peperspace@aol.com; I have always loved porsche's and before I consider buying one I wanted to know what the maintenance is like on an older 911 or 912? Also, are parts difficult or easy to come by? From: DylPickell; Sat Jul 22, 2000; DylPickell@aol.com; I saw a 1976 912E for sale a few
days ago, I had never heard of, or seen a 912 before so I got online and checked it out
and came to your site. After checking around with the owner, I am interested in the car.
The owner is asking $7800, it seems in nice shape, and it drives very nice. What do I need
to look for to make sure this is a good deal? Any potential problem areas that I need to
know about? From: Evan Nordby; Tues Jul 18, 2000; evan_nordby@hotmail.com ; 1976 912E sunroof coupe; This is a great resource - keep it up! -Evan From: JOED2171; Thurs Jun 22, 2000; JOED2171@aol.com; i would like to pur. a porsche 912, i know the the production run was 1965 to 1969 question is, which is the best year thank you . joseph de leon. fresno ca Earlier posting from guests are listed on the Guestbook Vol. 3 page. |
