tazzieman Posted 28May, 2014 Report Share Posted 28May, 2014 Looks to be a good buy. 78 SChttp://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-1978/SSE-AD-2826490 The interior is beautiful cork coloured, very 70’s, and very unique. Something different from the “run of the mill” black interior. But black is a somewhat practical colour ; you could argue the white exterior is "run of the mill"?

michel Posted 28May, 2014 Report Share Posted 28May, 2014 The 912 @ $35k might feel a bit high - but really everyone was saying the bag of bones UK 'S' that sold for 59k is an ok price? . I think we all are a bit fond of price speculation and hope we are buying the next 'RS' I think the 912 is one if the first 1000 made and possibly an early Porsche not karmann built car. Though putting aside the issue of a correct interior and exterior scheme as the paint is meant to be ok and an acceptable period colour ( quality paint job by a recognised painter back in the day and a 'quality leather retrim) the front seats are naff, but you can sit in them. Once the car is sorted and hoping not much more to spend ( engine : gearbox suspension miscellanea?) could have made a good buy .car comes with a stack of NOS parts to put into it. I believe it went to someone who'll spend the time to make it right hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a feeling this car was on Current Affair a while back. The guy got scammed into buying a car that was un-registerable in that state.

SteveT Posted 28May, 2014 Report Share Posted 28May, 2014 Might make a few bob wrecking it? Sum of the parts would have to be more than $20,000? Rear panels would be different to coupe I presume but the rest would be pretty similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott930 Posted 28May, 2014 Report Share Posted 28May, 2014 I recall a very similar (possibly same?) 72 on ebay about 6 months back... Thanks Trev, do remember anything else about it... price, if it sold, anything that stood out with it good or bad, etc? I did a search and found that it was listed on ebay, but the link is too old to call up the listing now or any details about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 28May, 2014 Report Share Posted 28May, 2014 Probably not the greatest selling point - "as seen on Today Tonight" poor bugger..
