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 |

QUOTE 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. Quite true of the 912E, which was relatively heavy. The early 912s, however, were pretty light. With the 912 engine, they're 2200lbs. A Type IV weighs a tad more than the 912 engine (like 20-30lbs), can be made into a 2.0 to 2.2L engine relatively easily for as much power as a 2.0 911 engine, and is a lot cheaper to rebuild than the 912 or 911 engines. So, a Type IV in an early 912 makes sense. It's not the same thing as a 914 in terms of handling, but it's a much more comfortable touring car. Having both (914 and 912) is the ideal combination. |
