withers Posted 24February, 2013 Report Share Posted 24February, 2013 I just found a 1968 912 100kms from where I live for sale on gumtree. It has a vw motor in it though. ffs. It's typical that would happen wasser.. just the luck of the draw. Never hurts to have options RHD and white! I'd sooo have it tho... gorgeous looking car. I'd love something like that and a run about with A/C for days like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 24February, 2013 Report Share Posted 24February, 2013 AC is nice. but on porsches over 23 years old forget it. Think of it as a sauna, its healthy to sweat. cancel the gym membership because you wont need it. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel Posted 25February, 2013 Report Share Posted 25February, 2013 if driving back from geelong adjust time - factor in 4 cylinders and alot of noise over 120km/h. when I bought a 912 from Lismore and drove back to canberra aside from no heating (cold) the noise after 12 hours non stop driving was pungent...but possibly best drive ever in a Porsche (once got through all the north coast road works amanda perhaps you should be looking at the white 912/VW? Does anyone know if it is Oz delivered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasserkuhl Posted 25February, 2013 Report Share Posted 25February, 2013 thanks chaps. I wil upload the one pic I took later tonight. I reckon I am just going to cruise around in it like it is. its too good to be a rat rod, but its not good enough to be a garage queen. only one small tiny patch of rust in the front pan, its like less than 5cms long and about 1.5cm wide. has some 'normal' oil leaks. drives well. 5 dial, 5 speed as well. very cool old school porn.
