1582/90hp, 5-speed, steel wheels, Kelly tires, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, books, tools, spare.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as a two-owner car. Mostly good repaint with orange peel around the drip rails. Dull but presentable exterior plastic. Heavily pitted hood vents. Small dent in the left headlight bezel. All original interior with flat seats but very sound upholstery. The gauge bezels have some pitting and slight fading on the faces, but nothing terrible. Tidy and maintained underneath. Never restored because it never needed to be and, at least up until recently, wasn't worth enough money. Tommy Trabue Collection.
Market commentary
The result here is generous, but this 912's history of limited ownership and good care are worth a premium at least as large as 10% or so that it brought here. The 912s have long been overlooked but as 911 values have taken off they are appreciated both for their style and the entre they provide for Porsche events. This is a good one, and it brought no more or less than it deserved.
