From: John Hodgson, '66 912 Coupe, Pennsylvania, USA; We purchased this one owner car from a friend and business associate who took delivery 2/66 at the factory. The car is currently being "refreshed" by Bruce Baker, Collegeville, Pa. The work includes a bare metal paint job using single stage urethane Spies-Hecker paint using the original paint formulation, a new headliner and carpets. The seats have been rebuilt by Classic German Interiors, Parkesburg, Pa. and the original black, basket weave vinyl. We have all records from new for this heavily optioned car including the original factory ski rack and parts kit.  Still original color, entered in concours; Interests - Events, touring, technical, restoration, show, rallies, autocross, racing; Membership Committee

From: Roger Dart, '68 912 Coupe, Illinois, USA; On a weekend trip to visit my mother in Baltimore, MD, I chanced to read the used car section of the Baltimore Sun.  Since owning an Arctic White '66 912 coupe, and a '69 Polo Red 912 Targa, I have longed for 'just one more'. After many years of watching, I finally spotted my red '68 in that Baltimore newspaper.  A Monday morning call to the then current owner disclosed that it was still available. Brother-in-law gleefully drove me over to take a look.  Love at first sight.  Upon returning home I sent a check for the balance (modest amount!) and called a transporter to get it to my home near Chicago.  That was in the spring of 2007.  It has rested in my garage since (bad brakes) awaiting my TLC.  That has now begun under the watchful eye of Desi Vinczen of Body Werks of Barrington, IL.  One day next spring [2010] it will be back as close to factory as I can make it with as much original as I can.

From: Registry Member Bill Pettit, 912E, Texas, USA; Bought the car about 3 months ago (8/09).  I found this car on the web, still getting familiar with it. It was a short drive away, so I was able to check it out before hand.  The previous owner had it reupholstered inside and it looks original, a lot of work on it, all documented, including nice paint job in a richer yellow than original. Engine rebuild about 42,000 miles ago.  I just had the windshield, rear window, and door seals replaced. Daily driver, my commute just got a lot more fun!  Interests - Events, Touring, Information/Newsletter Committee

From: Rudy Lucas Samuels, '68 912 SWT, California; Barn find! I just bought this 1968 912 soft window Targa from the original owner with what is claimed to be an original 8390 miles! It has been sitting in a garage not running since at least 1984 if not longer when he injured his knee and could not operate the clutch. This is my first Porsche and I hope to make it a daily driver.

From: Dominick DiMartino, '67 912 Coupe, Hawai'i ; Found the 912 under an open covered barn owned by a man who was selling a Karmann Ghia I originally wanted to view.  I managed to find this '67 from a covered area bunking next to some roosters up in the stix of Kailua Hawai'i. The Ghia was wasted and the work too plenteous so I looked and the 912 and was hooked.  I have some restoration ahead of me.  Currently removed the interiors except the dash and will sand blast the interior and weld some new metal into the voids and then cover with POR-15 then have the new carpet installed by the professionals.  I ordered some 86mm big bore pistons and cylinders and will shortly intall them with a new set of dual webber 40's.  Can't wait.  Interests - Events, Touring, Technical, Restoration, Show

From: Richard Slinn, '69 912 Coupe, California, USA; A recent purchase.  High mileage but a very well cared for Southern California car, and still nearly stock.  It will be a rolling restoration but is a very good driver as is.  I used to own a 1973 911S and a 1972 911T, and what people say is true -- a 912 is the better handling car!

From: Tony Adamski, '68 912 Soft-Window Targa, Washington, USA; While framing, I had drooled over the 912 in the house next door.  Turns out, their family was growing and the Porsche was for sale.  It was love at first site.  I've owned it now for nearly 19 years.  It spends winters in the garage and sunny days on the road.  I've lost the top while driving down I-5. The engine froze on a Sunday drive over White Pass.  Since then I've rebuilt the engine.  I temporarily replaced the sports shelf with back seats, so the whole family can go for a ride.

From: 912 Registry Member Andrew Sengenberger, '69 912 Coupe, Michigan, USA; Fun story...purchase was arranged by my wife online (after months of searching for the perfect car) as a surprise birthday gift. We flew from Northern Michigan to Sacramento and I had no idea why we were there until the car rolled up to the bench we were sitting out side the airport terminal...the car is 99% original (including paint!). I've owned it for nearly seven pleasant years now...it continues to garner attention and awards at the events we attend!  Still original silver color, used for touring; Interests - Events, Touring.

From: Peter Bollenbach, '68 912 Coupe, Wisconsin, USA; I have owned this totally rust free car for about 19 years. I am the 3rd owner and am constantly doing "something" on the car.. This car, while under my ownership has been completely stripped down, repainted, interior restored, and I just finished restoring the motor, engine compartment, transmission along with the rear suspension. It has a 1720CC big bore kit with 44IDF Webers. It has exactly 9.4/1 compression. Interests - Events, Touring, Technical, Restoration, Show

From: Adam Arzate, '66 Coupe, California; My 912 has been in my family since 1966, my grandfather is the original owner and I just purchased it from him in April of 2009.

From: From John Vollrath, '69 polo red coupe, Wisconsin, USA;  I purchased this car new in March, 1969, from Kline Porsche in Indianapolis, so I am the one and only owner.  Electric fuel pump added this year, metal braided brake lines added a few years ago, everything else is original.  Interior looks essentially the same as when purchased.  Electric clock stopped in early 70s, everything else works.  Engine strong.  Only work on engine is minor carb adjustments.  Daily driver the first two years, driven for pleasure after that, including a couple trips from the midwest to the west coast.  A thing of beauty and a joy forever.

From: Phil Martin, '66 912 Coupe, Colorado: I have owned this car since new (January 1966); it was my daily driver for years, and now is used for fun driving.  I've rebuilt the engine three times. It has been a great car!

From: Eric Sanqunetti, 912E, Indiana, USA; I just bought my 76 912E two weeks ago [5/09] from the original owner who purchased it in the Chicago area... I just drove her over the 33,000th mile.  All original and everything in good shape.  There are some rust issues on the front fenders and some faded areas so I will have to repaint.  Anyway, here is a photo.  Thanks!  

From: Eric Huffman, '67 Sunroof Coupe, California, still original color,now restoring.  A one owner San Diego car that was poorly stored in a garage right on the coast. Interior is very clean. The exterior has a lot of surface rust with some rust through in the usual places although the pan is great. The car is highly optioned with Porsche Factory Air, sunroof, rear window wiper, head rests, chrome wheels, power ariel, positraction and is a five speed. It was last registered in 1986 and has not been driven since then. It still sports its black and yellow California plates. The original mileage is a little over 37000 miles. I have been able to start the engine and it appears to run very well. Brakes are locked up in front but the whole system will be gone through before it is put back on the road. Gas tank is out and being sealed. Carbs have been cleaned up and refurbished where needed (thanks John Jenkins). I hope to have it back on the road before April 17th which is my birthday.  Interests - Events, Touring, Technical, Restoration, Show.
