Description

In the car restoration business there are times when you go too far, ou take too long and you spend too much money. This car represents one of those times.

I bought this car from a kindly older gentleman in Austin, exas in the Summer of 2014. At the time I bought it, t had a VW engine in it, t had no brakes, t had multiple rust holes in the pan and its tattered black carpeting had been screwed to the floor pan (yes, here were actual screws holding the carpet to the pan ... ugggggghhh). However, eing the left handed maniac that I am, saw no pitfalls - only potential. Magnificent, agnificent potential.

Being the adventurous sort (and lacking any semblance of common sense), bought the car. And, t that precise moment, he "trouble" began. And by "trouble" I mean a car that needed virtually everything replaced. And by everything, really do mean everything.

Starting in late 2014 and continuing up to and until now (about 15 months later), had the following work performed on this car:

Obviously, have receipts for all the repairs described above and all parts were sourced from reputable sources, .g., elican, MC, orsche North Houston, tc., tc.. I have also done my best to document the work performed photographically (see photos below) and digital images of all receipts and photos can be included in the sale.

After completing these repairs, can honestly state that this 912 is ALMOST NEW and is about as good as it could ever be. While it is not perfect, ts mechanical performance is impeccable. In fact, he mechanics are so good that if the car is purchased at the "Buy It Now" prince then I will sell the car with a "buy it back" guaranty. Please ask me for the details on this guaranty.

PLEASE NOTE: The car does not currently have its original engine. However, have the original engine and am in the process of reassembling it. If the car is purchased at the "Buy It Now" price then the original engine (in long block form without carbs, ngine tin or peripherals) will accompany the car. In addition, f the car is purchased at the "BIN" price then I will also include a set of 15X5.5 front and 15X7 rear Fuch rims. Finally, f the car is purchased at the "BIN" price then I will include a set of 1969 Texas plates (front and rear).

In closing, f you are in the market for a very nice, apidly appreciating 912 then you should give the instant car serious consideration. While it is not a concours level car, t is a nearly perfect driver. If you would like to see it being driven then there is a video of it being driven on my YouTube channel - TheBavarianMotors.
