according to Google Street View, it's been in that spot, under a car cover, for over 12 years.
In 1967, the primary difference between the Porsche 911 and 912 was the engine: the 911 used a 2.0L flat-six (~130hp), while the 912 used a 1.6L flat-four (~90hp) derived from the 356SC. The 912 was roughly 200 lbs lighter, better balanced, and more fuel-efficient, offering a more agile driving experience compared to the faster, more powerful 911.
the 911 had 5 gauges and carpet, the 912 had 3 and rubber floor mats
911s often had superior braking (ventilated vs. solid rotors on the 912) and different sway bars.
Sad.
ReplyDeleteI will guess with a lifetime of experience in such matters, that the reason they are parked in neglect, is that something will cost 20-40k to repair or upgrade, and the owners are only paycheck to paycheck.
DeleteIf they'd been around where I could see them and strike up a conversation, I would have, just to find out.
