One of the guys at work has a 76 912 that he offered to sell me. I personally don't have much of an interest in a 912, but then I started thinking... can I use any of the parts off the 912 for my 914? What, if anything could I take out of the car? axels? brakes? 5 bolt wheels (or are they 4 bolt?)????
Or is it a 912 worthwhile "investment"??? What are those worth anyway? I'm sure it's only a 4 cylinder engine, so I can't imagine that it would hold its value as well as a 911. Please let |

The '76s where at least partly galvanised (can't remember when they went from the lower-half only to the whole car), so it's unlikely to be a rust bucket. Chances are, it won't pass smog, which is why said friend is willing to unload it.
It would form the basis for a killer track car for any CA owner. You might even be able to sneak past the smog police w/o the thermal reactors, as I believe they don't really care if you're running a header if you don't have a cat, which this car won't. If you could get 110hp or thereabouts with small mods, it would make a great daily driver. A LOT quieter than a 914. |
