Valuation & Past Auction:
Recent sales for SWB Porsche 912s in similar "good" to "excellent" unrestored or sympathetically maintained condition (original drivetrains, documented provenance, with minor cosmetics and typical mechanical needs) were in $50,000 - $77,000 range. The top results - $77,000 and $81,000 - went to low-mileage, exceptionally presented cars with no mention of underbody oxidation and fully sorted cosmetics/mechanicals. Cars presenting with mild-to-moderate patina, minor undercarriage surface rust and some evidence of paintwork are often in $55,000 - $63,000 range. 912s needing full restoration, or those with serious rust, trade at lower levels. Given this car’s strong originality, solid overall condition and completeness, but tempered by moderate underbody oxidation, imminent need for a clutch and attention to mild paint flaws, the fair value for this car aligns just below the recent no-excuses “excellent” cars, but clearly above undrivable or neglected examples.

Condition:
This is a 1966 Porsche 912 short wheelbase coupe, presented in its factory-specified black (6609) over red leatherette interior. Powered by the matching-numbers 1.6L flat-four and mated to its original 4-speed 902/0 manual transaxle, it features a documented history from new with a comprehensive paper trail and key matching numbers confirmed throughout. The car retains factory-correct details such as Solex carburetors, a Becker Europa radio, and color-coded hubcaps. Recent mechanical work, long-term family ownership, and substantial originality are highlighted, along with a suite of service and maintenance receipts spanning several decades.
Work Needed:
This 1966 Porsche 912 Coupe presents as a highly original, numbers-matching example with honest patina and a comprehensive paper trail, but several key areas show aged components and moderate wear, especially in the clutch, undercarriage, suspension bushings, and select paint and chrome areas. While fundamentally sound and straight, any restoration must address ongoing surface rust, rubber and bushing replacements, the aging clutch, and several cosmetic blemishes to ensure ongoing reliability or to elevate the car to a show-worthy standard.
