The Porsche 912, introduced in 1965, was Stuttgart's pragmatic answer to the burgeoning success of the 911. Positioned as the spiritual successor to the outgoing 356, the 912 offered the sophisticated new unibody chassis and iconic styling of the 911, but powered by the proven and economical 1.6-liter four-cylinder boxer engine from the 356SC. This combination provided a more accessible entry point into the Porsche family, delivering nimble handling and legendary build quality without the higher cost and more demanding character of the 911's flat-six. The 912 quickly became a sales success, often outselling its six-cylinder sibling in its early years and cementing its place as a cherished classic for its purity of design and engaging driving experience. This 1966 Porsche 912 Coupe presents a fascinating opportunity for the discerning enthusiast. Showing 48,383 miles on the odometer, this example currently houses a 2.1-liter aftermarket engine, hinting at a previous owner's desire for enhanced performance. Crucially, the original, numbers-matching 1.6-liter engine has been meticulously overhauled and is included with the sale, stored separately. The original, matching gearbox is also present, accompanied by a spare 5-speed unit, offering future flexibility. Finished in an elegant color combination, this 912 offers a unique blend of historical integrity and potential for bespoke personalization. This is a chance to acquire a versatile early 912 with a trove of valuable original components.
