Description:

After much thought and research, my son and I have decided to sell our SWB 1965 U.S.Porsche 912, serial # 451155.
This car is a true U.S. 1965, 912 Karmann coupe delivered in Europe on July 2, 1965 to a Mr. John Roy Nelson of Washington State. It spent approximately a month in Europe before being shipped back via Porsche Cars North West, with some time at Sonauto in Paris and in Madrid. This can be seen on the Kardex copy, which will be provided to the buyer.
Some of the specs:

Original engine MISSING; we have searched high and low for engine # 740523 without success. I've reached out to both 912 people and 356 people in hopes of finding either the engine itself or the third piece. The engine currently in the car is a 1965 engine, # 741695 as told to me by a representative of PCNA, and is a big bore 1720cc according to the PO.
Color Code 6402-B, Ruby Red, 3 gauge car with MPH speedometer. The car was painted by the PO in Guards Red without the clear coat, thus having a mat finish.

We were originally going to either restore it to stock as much as possible or hotrod it, but the costs involved, at least to us, did not make it a feasible project. This would make a great hot rod to drive the wheels off.

Overall Condition:

  • Original 902/1 5 speed transmission with JWest Rennshift, very smooth and quick.
  • Strong 1720 cc 1965 engine, # 451695, pulls quickly without issues and moves the car nicely along.
  • 5.5" chrome wheels with brand new (less than 75 miles) 185/70 Pirelli CN 36 tires; original 1965 4.5" chrome wheels are available at extra cost.
  • 1968 or 1969 comfort seats with velour inserts.
  • Original seatbelts are installed.
  • Original engine compartment rainshield.
  • Stebro exhaust
  • Comes with many original parts, including heat exchanger and exhaust, at additional cost.
  • H4 headlights and Cibie hood lights were installed by the PO.
  • The following do not work: speedometer, odometer, gas gauge, horn (possibly fuse as it is connected)

There were some body work issues; at some point in its life, it was hit on the passenger side; see photo inside the engine compartment. These seem to have been repaired to the point where the car tracks straight without any pulling to the right or left; a complete alignment was done when the 5.5s and Pirelli CN36s were installed. There is also some front bumper damage. The car will be cleaned and washed before delivery.

Price will be $27,000 as is or $30,000 with the additional parts, or OBRO
