History
The original run of the 912, built between 1965 and 1969. The 1968 example exhibits the one-year-only unique door panels. The 912 engine was a 1,582cc pushrod flat-four from the 356SC, which produced 102hp in 1968. A side benefit of owning a 912 involves weight, about 250 lbs less than a 911, virtually all of the extra weight of a 911 is at the extreme rear of the vehicle.
