1967 Porsche 912 SWB

This 1967 Porsche 912 is a classic air-cooled sports car, which is offered from its current long-term ownership as a project in need of refurbishment and restoration. It is powered by a 1.6-litre flat-four, coupled to a five-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that the engine and chassis number are matching, and they state that this has been confirmed by Harry Aspiotis at Porsche Australia. The seller notes that the car was originally yellow, and has since been painted green. The odometer indicates 57,777 miles, though this is not warranted. It was imported to Australia with approval granted in March 2018. Build year: 1967 This 912 is noted to have originally been finished in yellow, though was later refinished in green with chrome trims and rubber overriders over a black leatherette-trimmed cabin highlighted by brushed aluminium accents across the dashboard. It sits on 13-inch steel wheels with chrome Porsche centre caps and Firestone tyres. The car is accompanied by some spare parts, a spare wheel, and one key. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: car is in need of restoration, the exterior shows poor paintwork and corrosion, inside is original but is torn and worn and needs a retrim. The car would make a solid base for a restoration, and the sills and kidney bowls are solid and mainly rust-free. The only significant rust is in the floor pan, which has rusted out mainly at the front, as well as in the battery tray area. This 1967 Porsche 912 is an exciting project opportunity, offered for sale from long-term ownership. It would make an ideal candidate for some sympathetic refurbishment, a total concours-quality restoration, or could even be used as the basis for a unique ‘restomod’ build.
