murf Posted 16December, 2013 Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 Hey Gents, Of late I've noticed a rise in 912 prices. Especially here in Australia. Shannons sold one at $36 (67 red converted) + premium & another at $42 + premium last year. Over the past week I've heard of 2 selling at the 36k and 40k mark. The higher was a member here. The other one a silver 68 that had been on ebay 3-4 times over the past year sold from Sydney - Melbourne and around country Vic a few times since. (see below) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1968-Porsche-912-RHD-REG-RWC-Great-Condition-/281221740673?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item417a1f3881&_uhb=1 Most apart from one are original LHD others have been converted (badly from my the one I inspected) and the other an aussie delivered. There is also a red one on typ901 912 coverted as a 911 asking $50+ Are we seeing the rise of another collectible? Or just more people buying entry level cars pushing up the prices. Does RHD matter? I've 2 LHD original cars and prefer them to RHD's. But I'd never buy a converted car. Just thought I'd throw a few thoughts out there. Merry Xmas. murf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 16December, 2013 Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 Have been watching 912's over the last 12-18 months and have noticed the rise, I did see that silver 68 and showed it to my brother just yesterday actually. At half the money of good 356's and good long hood 911's. I think their good buying for people wanting to get a start into early Porsches. Will they plateau or continue to rise and push 911 prices up with them is anyones guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasserkuhl Posted 16December, 2013 Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 1965 Painted Dash cars are a $55-60k prospect. 1966/1967 Cars are a 45-50k Prospect 1968-69 cars are a 35-45k Prospect. I think they will stabilise at the above levels as the 356 has the more visual charm, however the 912 is a Better car and more plentiful(globally). That said, many 912's have been treated like pooh and as such finding a Numbers matching car is getting more difficult. Rust is a another big issue. Factory cars will always be worth more than Converted cars, however, a proper conversion using correct sheet metal and parts completed by a crafts person would not be worth much less. 356 Prices are starting to rise, in particular 356C models.......... They don't make them anymore and when they did, they made feck all of them. I'd suggest that if you invest in a 356 or a 912 you would not lose your money, however you would also find it difficult to sell it as well as they are marvellous cars. I only sold mine because The price was right and I want to do some more restorations on both 912's and 901's so need to keep cash flow moving. Doesn't help going through a divorce either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney999 Posted 16December, 2013 Report Share Posted 16December, 2013 Has anyone seen this website based on the restoration of a 912, one of the best recorded and documented restoration web sites I have seen.http://www.darrylsgarage.com/912/912.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 17December, 2013 Report Share Posted 17December, 2013 Mine is a 1966 matching numbers car and possibly the only factory black 912 in the country. I should check that one though. Currently in mostly bare metal, very minimal rust, though I am replacing the pan, decent interior with no rips in the seats. I have recently been offered $25k as it sits by an older gent who wants to do the restoration. What will it be worth when it's finished to the level it will be at? Who knows, as it won't be a 100 point concourse car, just a nice cruiser. Some Porsche guys I have met say upwards of $40k I wouldnt really know, yet it's worth what someone is prepared to pay I spose. Time will tell if the prices stay up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it will pop up again with a significant price hike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafe_racer Posted 23September, 2021 Report Share Posted 23September, 2021 I saw a post on Facebook. Someone is using it as a base for a lightweight backdate club racer. Which I think is kinda cool! With that said, anyone keen to move a RHD 912 please let me know and see my post in the want to buy forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
