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!

We love the 912e but hate Porsche for making a one year only car that they do not support with parts. ANYTHING around the powerplant is next to impossible to get (the 915 transmission has an odd t/o bearing and a 901 STYLE mainshaft) the exhaust system the fuel injection system is all one off, and that all means FORGET trying to repair it! Cannot even get cables! We are at least making the intake boot now along with the 1.7 air intake boot, but as for the rest of the fuel injection, forget it! Really again, too too bad.
