JoAnne, how is it that I am always missing all these fun local/regional events that you put on????
Dad will definitely be joining the Lonestar 912 club...and I think that we will have a lot of fun slowly (lightly) restoring this car to originality.
I will say that driving that car makes one appreciate the older lighter models...although I have never driven a 356, I can imagine the allure better now...

This is a very neat car, a nice find. The black with red interior looks awesome! The 912 registry says 3 percent of the 1966 912's were black. Black is this car's factory color as stamped on the plate inside the driver's door jam.
It's not that it doesn't need ANY work -- all rubber seals are shot, carpeting shot, rear seats and back shelf area shot, probably a lot of mechanical freshing to do escpecially with rubber-based components -- but that gives you some fun stuff to do. The body was straight and solid, and the car was basically unmolested. Still had the original rubber floor mats, tool kit (minus pliers), jack, battery cover, chrome spare with possibly original German Conti tire. The original '66 white sunvisors were in great shape, as was the dash. Coat hangers still there. Nice headliner. All the chrome wheels with hub cabs, including the spare. Everything was as if it hadn't been messed with. Almost no rust except for some light surface stuff in a couple of spots and one dime-sized more aggressive spot under one door sill but no big deal. It still has the original 1966 Nadella halfshafts.
AND... a binder of the original bill of sale and maintenance receipts documenting its original 80k miles and service. Not to mention owners manual, another technical manual plus a couple of boxes of some spares. This is the find everyone hopes for!
The hunt and the acquisition is so exciting. I love it (even if it wasn't me doing the acquiring this time)! This was a great day for me and I know it was for Jon and his dad. They will have many fine times ahead of them enjoying this car and each other.
You've seen some "Before" pics Jonathan posted. Here is a future "After" pic from the 912 Registry site of a car with the same color combo. Sweet!
