1968 PORSCHE 912
Color# 62165 Golden Green
The Porsche 912 bridges the gap between the 356 and the
911 by combining the body of the 911 but utilizing the proven reliable 4
cylinder 102hp Porsche 356SC power plant. While the 912 has 30 less horsepower than
its 6cyl counterpart they share the same chassis, suspension, 4 wheel disk
brakes, manual transmission, and build quality. When it comes to the 900 series
cars many collectors are prone to look only for the 6cyl versions, however, one
should keep in mind that ALL Porsche cars had 4 cylinder engines up until the
911 was introduced in 1964.
This particular example is one of the most unique and
special Porsche cars you could ever find. This 912 was a special order from
Carlsen Porsche of San Francisco California, it was ordered in the rarest color
offered by Porsche in the 1960s “Golden Green”. Only a small handful of cars
were built with this special order color, a color that evokes emotion in the
onlookers and sets the car apart from all other examples. The investment
potential of this car is secured with the matching number engine, transmission,
and original color all of which are all verified by the included Certificate of
Authenticity from Porsche. This example is loaded with options including the
