    Short wheel base - ossi blue - non numbers matching car, so modding had been the direction so far.

    ZERO RUST, super straight 912 that was discovered in a shop having been an abandoned project for decades. It is in extremely good original condition.

    I have just had butterscotch Recaro's installed in it, and am having RS door panels put on as we speak. The car is at a Porsche specialist right now, but I can drag it home or a buyer can grab it where it sits and make it theirs. We can discuss.

    PM if interested and I'll share everything I know about it. It has been seen by a few Porsche experts and they are all impressed. I could link you to unsolicited comments if desired.

    GREAT project Porsche...super straight, clean tight panels, gaps perfect, things close with proper Porsche 'thud'.

    Included brand new in box - big bore kit, because this clean motor needs a 'rebuild'. That is original paint - everywhere but the crappy respray on the outside of car/panels...all under areas/panels/jams left original.

    I was going to hit it with a beautiful paint job over the garbage on the outside right now, preserve the original paint when possible... its ossi blue, serious great Porsche color, deserves to pop!

    No buyer for my juicy Scorpion, so this car is next in line. Color, condition, pretty nice, need to sell a car, if you want to buy both the Scorpion AND this, make yourself a smoking deal, contact me, let's negotiate. :)

    Is the 930 gone? That car, yours in particular, just had "it"

    Thanks Voda, here's the fleet minus this 912 that I have been bit by bit running around getting **** done on for more than a year now and much more still to do! Still have the 930, it is still immaculate :)

    Bump for price reduction. $24k. Just home yesterday from Rennsport Reno. Flatbed gave me a chance to show clean underside.

    Just spent $2,700. had engine grill refinished, seats, rails, new RS door panels installed. I am still steadily continuing to develop this build. Next move, I am going to have to raise the ask to cover my continued investment. :)

    some fresh photos taken just now...in early morning light

    dash is carefully removed - was wanting to put in period blaupunkt radio, but dash can easily be glued back in - only one of the 6 pieces was cut unfortunately to house a period 'craig' radio unit that I will include with sale so can go back to clean install. seats are fully manually adjustable and butter soft - new tires 195/65 on 'driver' level chrome wheels. Have the 5th chrome wheel 'spare' included.

    original headliner in good to excellent condition, visors and hardware - excellent to amazing condition as are a lot of this car, it has sat indoors for a long time. engine compartment REALLY clean, looks near concours and yet needs internal rebuild.

    valance, trim, bumper overriders all in great condition. I am assembling a photo showing the original parts included with the car that aren't present in the photos, coming later, phone/camera/storage issues all of a sudden :/

    Edit...if anyone can realign 3 of these photos below, would be much obliged.

    gas tank is out of the car, why the front end is 'light'

    Oh wow - that is such a cool project! I love the butterscotch Recaros. Wish I could be a player on this but out of my league. Good luck with the sale!!

    Thanks Mike...by the way I have a very cool badge from some euro event that is such a perfect match for ossi blue, reminds me of you and your amazing automobilia, which yes, I still have 2 pieces acquired from you that I covet and plan to put on my Alfa soon.

    This is a great project car. I've seen folks taking on rusted out carcasses and spending a year on bodywork and transplanting and welding metalwork. This is suited for a mechanical do it your selfer and someone with an aesthetic eye to mod and customize to whatever look you want. I personally love the way the Porsche designers drew it up in 1968. So visually on the outside left it stock. Inside is already underway and looking good. Someone complete this, it's a looker in the making.

    Congratulations on the sale! Someone got an incredible buy with this one!

    Euro badge sounds great - I love that sort of thing. Really glad to hear that you're still happy with the items. I'd love to see a photo of them on the Alfa when you have them mounted.
