1969 Porsche 912 Coupe 4-Speed Project

Description

The Porsche 912 isn't just the little brother to the vaunted 911; it's celebrated for its light, nimble character and direct connection to the early years of Porsche's rear-engine sports cars. Sharing the iconic long-hood design that established the visual identity of the 911, the 912 occupies a unique place in Porsche history and has become increasingly sought after as interest in early air-cooled Porsches continues to grow.

The 1969 model year is particularly significant as the final year of original 912 production. It also marked the first year that the 912 combined its proven 356-derived 1.6-liter flat-four with Porsche's longer-wheelbase chassis and widened rear bodywork.

This '69 Porsche 912 Coupe is powered by a 1.6-liter air-cooled flat-four equipped with dual carburetors and paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Finished in metallic purple over black leatherette upholstery, the car is equipped with steel wheels over larger 911-sourced brakes.

This 1969 Porsche 912 is now offered a clean Wyoming title in the seller's name.
