Soory for the OT, but it is a aircooled 4cly Porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Anyone here have or had 76 912E? Month or so ago I picked up a complete 66 912. It was in very bad shape, but complete. I sold it a week later for a some quick $$ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Then at the next AX I went to there was a 76 912E. Nice car, You could tell it wasn't blinding fast, but the cool factor was 10+. I got a to ride on one run, but never had a chance to drive it. While I like the early 912, I think the 76 would be a model I would go for. The one I rode in had sunroof and working AC and was just plain cool.
I bought a 88 944 NA with 62K on at the end of march this year, and while its a great car, I just doesn't do it for me. Nothing against water pumpers, but you just can't beat the aircooled sound (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I have no plans to get rid of the 944 yet, but knowing me it won't make it another year before the 912 bug really sets in. The car would be used just like my 944, daily driver (spring, summer, fall). I know about the 912 registry site, but who here has or had a 76 912E? I would like to here your good, bad, and ugly about it. From my few days on prcing research looks like they go for $6.5 k - $13k, my budget would be approx $10k. Thanks!

I've owned three of them, now have #265. I rebuilt the engine with Jake Raby 2056 parts and Dynos Just like he says. I have carbs and a Bursh extractor/muffler. The torque is what you notice from the 2056. Mine was built in 1975 (early Number) and is not fully galvanized. I think the later ones are. Think about the power a 911 has, with less of an engine it should last forever. Insurance is less than a 911 (I use "classic" insurance) I think they are great dailey drivers. OH! I ran into George Hussey of Automobile Atlanta at a PCA concours and he said the 912E intake boots are ready. Stock, they use the same FI as an 1800. Check with Aric Gless At Glessarch@aol.com. He has a directery of 1/2 of them.
