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 down side to a '76 912E is if you've ever got to replace the exhaust system, they are unobtainium.
I've heard mostly positive comments about these cars, ie not enought power to get you in trouble. I've always thought that if you wanted a type four powered car the 914 would be a better choice, as it's much lighter than the 911 body. My personal feelings are, although the car seems to have a loyal following, why would you want a 911 with a 914-4 engine? The same engine works so much better in the lighter (more fun) chassis, why not get a six powered tail-dragger? Again, just my .02 |
