I have no problem with someone getting their dream car and driving it . But lets talk reality Hagerty are clowns As in not in touch with reality. """ take some advice from a old tracker, you wanna find something? Use your eyes ! " Mel in firefly Ok guys now shake your dicks , this pissing contest is over ... Says the only guy entered in the contest. So I can't quite tell, are you saying Hagerty's prices are inflated or too low? Are you accusing them of being willing to pay, in the event of a loss, well over market for a car just so they can get an extra $12 a year in premium?

Same perks of an early 911 but without the power.
Same pitfalls of an early 911 (rust) but without the power. Same pitfalls as any car being thought of (bought as) "an investment". That's a tricky word with lots of caveats. |

I have owned 3 912s and sold 2.
Still have a 912E. I would pay $20k for a nice driver in a heartbeat. For me the lack of power is no big deal, I am not a street racer. Plenty fast enough for me to get to and from work. |

Plenty fast enough for me to get to and from work. I like the early 911/912's because they are the smallest and lightest of the 901 body type and I like small sports cars. If money was no object I would do an aluminum case 2.0 hotrod engine but I would be satisfied with a built type 4 just to keep the back end light. |

As much as the air cooled Porsche’s have gone up in recent years I would never consider a car an investment unless you’re in a position to deal in the uber rare and have loads of disposable money.
My 2 cents |

Folks Curious if you know what a fair condition 912 could go for? any special year? what to look for or stay away? I realize this AINT a 912 website, but many of you are experts in all soooo many areas... I don't have details, but I am thinking that a 912 may be a good investment for the right price as they are not yet in the $30K range? air-cooled, simple, nice looking body, fuchs, etc... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) No offesnse man But your totally miss informed about the 912. About 10 years ago was the time to buy one up not now. I have seen nothing but really expensive 912 s for sale that range in condition from need total resto to rough drivers , going for really high asking price. By the time you find and buy one of these . Fix and restore it You are gonna be sad you did , just to sell it off or drive it around ? Im not seeing how it can make sense , financially or fun factor ? https://santabarbara.craigslist.org/cto/d/s...6801158050.html This actually looks like a nice car but 20k Once you start paying for future collector value. I check out as a buyer . If offer the guy 12k and thats still pretty risky He won't take $12k - shell is prob worth @ $10k & engine at least $7k - just sold one in way worse condition. I think that SB CL one is worth looking at. |

This is an interesting one, if you wanted to do a hot rod.

We buy cars like that all the time for hotrod/outlaw projects. As long as it's the right price, it's a great base but I'm thinking low teens for that car. Just like the 916 bumpers that get put on our cars, there's a good chance the 912 took a front hit and got the slope nose treatment. |

IMO - any of the SWB, I do like the 65/66 the best though. Still dream of building a SWB 6 conversion. I’d put that supertech 2.7 in there and never look back... Oh trust me.... it has crossed my mind multiple times.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) …. even in the original six at one time, but once I start messing with the original six, I think is downhill from there!
