Equipment
1,582/107hp 356SC engine represented as matching numbers, chrome wheels, hubcaps, Michelin XWX tires, woodrim steering wheel.
Condition
Factory-documented prototype with 356SC power used for a tour of U.S. dealers to show the new 911/912 body style. One of six built of which two survive. Represented as the matching numbers engine. Excellent paint, chrome and interior. Flat panels, flush fits, even gaps. Spotless engine compartment. An impressive restoration of a rare Porsche prototype. Kardex and Porsche CofA documented.
Market commentary
Mecum offered this 912 prototype at Monterey in 2016 where it was reported bid to $600,000 without selling. It is much more reasonably estimated today but similarly fell short, no doubt a disappointment to the consignor and also to Porsche enthusiasts who would like to see it out on Porsche parades and Rennsport Reunions.
