When Porsche introduced the 911 in late 1963 as the successor to the venerable 356, the market response was initially mixed. The 911's higher price point and more complex flat-six engine left a gap for enthusiasts seeking a more accessible entry into Porsche ownership. Recognizing this, Porsche introduced the 912 in 1965, essentially marrying the new 911 chassis and styling with the proven, reliable 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine from the outgoing 356SC. This clever strategy made the 912 an instant success, outselling the 911 in its early years and becoming a beloved classic in its own right, celebrated for its balanced handling and engaging driving experience. This 1966 Porsche 912 Sunroof Coupe presents a compelling project for the discerning enthusiast. Showing 100,000 miles, this example wears its original Irish Green hue, a timeless and highly sought-after factory color that perfectly complements the 912's elegant lines. While the engine details are not specified, the car is currently equipped with an automatic transmission, an uncommon but intriguing configuration for the period. Included are the parts visible in the accompanying pictures, offering a solid foundation for restoration. This 912 offers a unique opportunity to revive a piece of Porsche history.
