First, delivered to Dr. Gould in New York, New York, in March of
1969, and then it was relocated to Palo Alto, California, by the
2nd owner on January 4, 1971, at 7,140 miles. The 3rd owner was Mr.
Snyder from Fremont, California, who purchased the 912 from a
Mozart dealer. He worked at Intel. From 1, the 912 was
stored in a garage, then sold to Mr. Abedian in 2018; in 2021, the
current owner purchased the 912. Over the next few years, the
current owner had the 912 serviced and maintained by Sports Car
Garage in Palm Desert, California, where the following has been
performed: replace pushrod tubes, install front struts, install
rear shocks, replace axle shaft assembly, replace CV boots,
installed a new clutch, replace engine rear main seal, and replace
transmission seal. European Collectibles has recently rebuilt the
top end of the motor, including new pistons and cylinders, rod
bearings, cylinder heads, pushrod tubes, and a gasket kit.
Mechanically, it is powered by the matching 1.6-liter flat-four
engine (Type 616/40) featuring dual carburetors rated at 102
horsepower with a matching manual 5-speed transmission and
four-wheel disc braking system. Complete with a Porsche Production
Specifications Certificate, a Porsche maintenance booklet
confirming the first three owners, service records, a driver's
manual, and a California title. A fantastic example that is ready
to enjoy!
