Market commentary
For 1976, the Porsche 914 was bowing out but the 924 wasn't quite ready yet, so Porsche looked into the back catalogue and resurrected the 912 for a single-year run and called it the 912E. Essentially a 911 with the engine from a 914, the 912E is a rare car with only about 2,100 built, but with about half the power of the equivalent 911 it's not exactly a hot commodity in the Porsche world. The original 912s from the 1960s are worth significantly more money, and for an example with so many problems, this is an expensive result even in the best of times. The buyer must have been thinking 1967 rather than 1976.
