New and Pre-owned Porsche 912 for Sale

Because of its status as one of the Porsche enthusiasts’ favorite cult classic Porsches, it isn’t easy to find a great Porsche 912 for sale. Luckily, you’ve come to the right place. If you want to buy a used Porsche 912, the duPont REGISTRY is where you’ll find the best ones. The Porsche 912 was produced from 1965-1969, and it was the entry-level Porsche, next to the 911 at the time. It was produced to have a model next to the 911 once the 356 was discontinued, and it shares the 911’s chassis and body and uses a smaller engine. So why should you buy a Porsche 912? Compared to the 911 of the time, the 912 Porsche actually delivered arguably better performance in the weight distribution and handling categories due to its smaller flat-four engine, resulting in lower weight. Enthusiasts covet the Targa version of the 912 that came with a plastic rear window that could be opened with a zipper, known colloquially as the “soft-window Targa,” and Targa with hard glass rear windows, and coupe versions are also available. However, what’s great about the soft-window Targa is that the zipper window gives you the option to not only remove the top, but also lower the back window of the car, giving the driver the structural integrity of a coupe, and virtually the full open-air experience of a roadster, and if that experience is fully configurable with the soft-window Targa. Going after a Porsche 912 Targa for sale is an easy way to get an affordable, vintage, quality Porsche that provides an exhilarating open-top experience. If you’re more interested in a more collectible, comfortable, and modern 912, rather than a 912 project car, the 912E, produced in 1976, is the car for you. This E was a US-only car that was produced in collaboration with Volkswagen for just the 1976 model year, and only 2,092 of them exist. It’s considered the most comfortable 912 model, using a different Volkswagen Type 4 engine than the original 912, and it was even praised in its time for being more practical and usable than its 911 counterparts. A great perk all Porsche 912s boast is that they are fuel-efficient, garnering praise when they were new and even today for its potential 30 mile per gallon fuel economy, especially when compared to the 911 of the time, thanks to its small engine and low drag. They’re still affordable now, but Porsche 912 prices are only going to go up over the years, so now’s the time to get your hands on a cult classic 912 Porsche for sale that you’re sure to love.
