Hemming's Motor News named the Porsche 912 in its annual Ten Best "Sleepers"!   In case you didn't know, Hemming's Motor News named the 912 one of the ten best "sleeper" cars -- collectible cars under $10k to buy.  The article stated in part "Perhaps the greatest sports car ever built was Porsche's 911. The ultimate driver's car, it offered exceptional handling, fantastic brakes and a high-revving flat-six air-cooled engine that was as powerful as it was reliable, all in a cozy 2+2 fastback body. With a price tag that's just beyond what the average enthusiast can afford, Porsche's entry level 912 makes a perfect alternative sports car for those willing to accept a reduction in power."
