Clicking the buttons above to learn about 912s and their owners.   Viewing 912/912Es registered, you can read owners' experiences and interests, find rare special order features (i.e. sunroof coupes), trends by year (i.e. relative popularity of exterior colors) cars being restored, popular modifications, how many have survived within a particular VIN range, what the cars are used for, states/ provinces and countries where they have migrated, etc.

(P) indicates 912s assembled in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany (the former Reutter Stuttgart Carosserie-Werke car body factory acquired by Porsche in 1963). 

(K) indicates a 912 assembled at the Karmann factory in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony, Germany.  (Because demand for Porsches exceeded the factory's capacity, Karmann constructed 912s under contract.)

Porsche assembled all Targas in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.

The approximate Vehicle Identification Number sequence splits listed above for 1966 model year cars constructed in 1965 are based on the earliest 912 Registry-listed cars having 1966 paint codes.  Note that some 1966 and later model year cars have 1964/65 paint codes, as the earlier 356/911/912 colors could be special ordered for later cars.  The split numbers listed here are subject to updating based on cars registered; please check back from time to time.   Also, although some references are made to VIN 353999 in various literature, Dave Pateman has been in contact with the factory, and discovered that the Porsche built 912 production ended at 353592 in 1966. This means there is a gap in VIN #'s up to 354001, the first VIN of 1967 model year.

Although factory publications indicate 1969 912 Karmann coupes start with VIN 129000001, 912 owners have researched and found Karmann coupes actually start with sequence 129020001.  This is consistent with 1966-1968 912 production numbers which demonstrate that Karmann built the majority of 912s those years as well.  Also, the last VIN for 1969 Karmann Coupe currently registered is 129023483, and others have registered Karmann coupes with VINs higher than a factory published last chassis number of 129023450.
