Description

This is a very rare 1976 Porsche 912E for several reasons:

Sold only in the USA, Porsche produced only 2099 of these cars
Of those 2099, only 500 were produced with a sunroof. This car has a working sunroof.
Very few had installed air-conditioning (this model is the only I have come across with AC -- and the AC works
great!)
This is a California car, so none of the rust issues cars from other regions deal with.
Include several additional items with purchase: High-end car-cover, removable front rock-guard ("bra"),
removable custom-designed cup-holder, after-market iPhone compatible car stereo.

Why is the 912E so rare and unique?

The Porsche 912E (E for Einspritzung—fuel injection) is a one-year-only (1976) model, based on the 911S of that
year, with a 4 cylinder Type IV Porsche/VW engine. Sold only in the USA, Porsche produced only 2099 of these cars,
before it was replaced by their newest try at an entry-level model, the front-engine 924.

The fittings were slightly simpler in this model “although in terms of materials, trim and finishing the 912E is
of high Porsche quality”, decided American Road & Track magazine. Their test driver notched a 9.7 second 0-60
time, calling the “E” the prototypical road car: “comfortable where the (Turbo) Carrera is harsh, rational
where the Carrera is excessive.”

The year was 1975. Porsche’s mid-engine 914, the “people’s Porsche” developed with Volkswagen to replace
the original 912, had failed to make much headway in the popluar-price sports-car market since its 1970 debut. A
substitute was coming, the radical 924. But it wasn’t quite ready yet, so the 912 was brought back to anchor the
bottom of the ’76 line while the last 914s quietly exited showrooms.

“The 912E will obviously find favor with those who prefer a slightly more practical and tractable Porsche,”
