I have known about this car since around 1992 when I first saw it. The owner came to my shop and wanted to sell it to me. He had grand ideas about how much the car was worth at the time so we never did put together a deal. Fast forward to the dead of winter here in MN. Aric and I were talking about 911's-912's because I had that targa here for a make over. I happened to remember the 912 and told my son about it. As soon as the snow left he tracked it down. Still sitting unloved in a shed that was ready to collapse in on it. Well time hasn't been kind to the old girl. But were committed to saving her. Here's a short history. The former owner was stationed in Hawaii. While there he purchased the car. Shortly after the shuffle pins sheared. There is a rebuild invoice in excess of $ 3500.00 in 1988 money for an engine rebuild. We think this will run with a little pre-planning and careful prep work.
