I know it can't be a 912 911. It's one or the other. Serial number says it is a 912.

Frankenporsche or not it has a lot nice upgrades. Looks like it was tastefully done.
It would not say it is a collector car, but it seems pretty nice to me. This is the kind of car that someone dumped a ton of money into and is never going to get it back. It looks to me like a pretty good deal. If it is what it says it is.

NOT der Porsche!

Was a 912, now a custom-built something with a 3.2 litre Porsche engine.

Somebody did a bunch of work trying to cash in on the early 911 frenzy. Probably not that bad, a Cellete bench is the ONLY way to get a chassis right on these cars. Lots of people grin when a 356 outlaw is thrown together, this isn't much different.

Would have been money ahead putting it back the way it was born.

For sheer fun, I'll bet that little 91X would deliver. It is a clean looking little ride.
