Buying a 1969 Porsche 912

Offering nimble handling and compact performance, the Porsche 912 was the manufacturer’s entry-level model from 1965 to 1969 and was capable of up to 30 miles per gallon fuel economy. Its unique combination of a high-efficiency engine, low weight and low drag meant that the 912 was a fierce competitor in the Porsche lineup. Considered a variant of the 911, one of the most successful sports cars of all time, the 912 initially outsold the 911 mainly due to its affordability. During 1968, the 912 received new lighting to comply with United States laws, new carburetors, and a smog pump to meet U.S. emissions standards. Because of these updates, and because the 1969 Porsche 912 reflects all the refinements and changes throughout the 912 production, the 1969 Porsche 912 is perhaps the best model to purchase. Additionally, the 1969 model had a new longer wheelbase, flared fenders and the improved suspension of the 911.

1969 Porsche 912 Buyer’s Guide

There are a lot of very inexpensive but worn-out examples of the 912 out there. One of the most important Buyer’s Tips that the California classic car dealership professionals can recommend is finding a quality example that has the best body and mechanical completeness you can find. Not only will this allow you to begin enjoying your new 912 more quickly, it can prevent quite costly repairs. Because the 911 and 912 share many of the same components, finding parts can be both difficult and expensive. Additionally, rust can be a big issue for the 1969 Porsche 912. Be sure to thoroughly inspect the car, even placing it on a lift can be beneficial, to ensure you are fully aware of any rust issues. Some of the key places to look are the floor pan, around the floor near the rear seats, between the doors, around the front windshield, and anywhere they has been a previous repair to the body. Lastly, don’t be too concerned with high mileage 912’s. As long as they were maintained, these engines can last quite a while and are known for being reliable.
