I think they hit it out of the ballpark. Bravo.

 

Needs a roll bar!

 

Nice.

 

For the record, BIN $90,000.

Copied from the listing:

This is a 1968 Porsche 912 imported to Dubai from the United States. It has matching numbers and is restored to its original Tangerine colour. While restoration, its engine and transmission was completely cleaned and rebuilt with the stock barrels swapped for big barrels – 1750cc. The whole suspension setup was also stripped and rebuilt.

The car was completely stripped and new floor panels added and all its rust was cut out and replaced with new metal that was welded in place. There were no shortcuts used in restoring the bodywork of this car.

The mileage is original. It has 25k kms on the clock with 500kms odd driven after restoration.
The car has many modifications including a RSR style center hood refueling system – fender filler eliminated, outside trim and majority of emblems eliminated and the interior is finished in RSR style with era correct hounds tooth sport seats. There is exposed paintwork on the inside tunnel and the whole interior has Rennline aluminium interior race accents. To add a dash of modernity, it has a hidden, high quality amplifier and speakers with media player connection in dash. To top it all, a Momo sports steering wheel completes the whole sporty interior.

Porsche enthusiasts will notice its original 1968 Fuchs wheels with new Kumho tires that give it an aggressive stance. It also has all new rubbers, seals and weather strips along with European lights and indicators.

This iconic car is better than new, turns heads and receives admiration wherever it goes.

This car can be shipped internationally and shipping to the US or EU from Dubai costs about $3,000 all inclusive. This is a US car so import and registration to the US isn't a problem.

big money for a rodded 912...

 

I downloaded all the photos But having said that, I just do not see myself doing something like this to my 912. I waited so long to own one that I just want to keep it as original as possible.

 

Cool conversion of sorts if its your taste. I'll stay with the real deal.

 

Well you guys know what I did to my 912 restoration when I had the option...

But I still think that car has a great vibe about it. I like that vibe. How about having this and a true to form one!

 

You could say that this is what I am doing with the SC-RS project I have... I thought about doing a long nose conversion, but it came with all the parts for an RS setup....so that is what I went with, but it would have looked great as a long nose....

 

My thoughts..

 

I'm debating this as well. I'm about to close on a 912 and cant seem decide if I want to keep it original, hot rod or something in the middle. I will probably go go somewhere in the middle... 99% original on the out side. Probably just change the wheels and give it a more aggressive stance. Inside, I'm thinking smaller momo wheel, I like those seats, but would keep and match the back seats to the front. Got little kids the love the ride. Other than that not much else.

 

Go with your personality. Michael's car is the middle exacto. I prefer the middle myself. I hated 912's when I was young,,,,girls Porsche. 45 years later that is what I drive but she must be a tough bitch if I'm gonna drive it.

 

That is bang on! I'm 42, married with 3 kids. I surf, skate and drive my cars like as hard as possible. This car is actually right for a hot rod set up. Not 100% original, repainted and unknown ownership past. That said, I decided against it today. I came across the car while searching for a 964 to hotrod and think I'm going to stick with that plan for now. Living in Florida the 912, with no AC, barely any seat belts, and not the fastest machine may not be right for me right now; I'll probably regret it since it was a great deal on rust free car.


Agreed. I couldn't hot rod car that was all original. But if its not original I say have at it. Ultra912 said it best. Its got to suit your personality. Right not for me it gotta wide, low and fast as hell.

One day I will own a long hood.

 

I told you TCSPEED they are going up!!!

 

yes indeed!
Original cars are fetching good money. Must be due to the SWB 911 prices being extremely high...

Im not sure how much the 912 hot rods are fetching however...
