Bakalars@clovermail. Net . 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. The porsche 912e (e for einspritzungfuel injection) is a one-year-only (1976) model, based on the 911s of thatyear, 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 isof high porsche quality, decided american road & track magazine. Their test driver notched a 9. 7 second 0-60time, calling the e the prototypical road car: comfortable where the (turbo) carrera is harsh, rationalwhere the carrera is excessive. Porsches mid-engine 914, the peoples porsche developed with volkswagen to replacethe original 912, had failed to make much headway in the popluar-price sports-car market since its 1970 debut. Asubstitute was coming, the radical 924. But it wasnt quite ready yet, so the 912 was brought back to anchor thebottom 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,predicted road & track. Its a car with almost all the sporting virtues of the more expensive 911s, yet itssimpler pushrod 4-cyl. Engine should make for better fuel economy and less expensive maintenance than the 911ssix (though the injection tended to misbehave in cold weather). Sae net horsepower was just 86 at 4900 rpm,torque a more useful 98 pounds/feet at 4000. Curb weight was 2395 pounds, which meant the 912 had somehow picked up400 extra pounds since 69. Still, r&ts11. 3-second 0-60 mph time and 115-mph top speed looked good against theobserved 23. 0-mpg economy. As a stopgap, the 912e was the single instance of planned obselence in porsche history.
