For sale is the coveted, long wheelbase, best and final year 912 coupe. With the wheelbase stretched to help tame the tail-wagging 6-cylinder, the 912 is more balanced than a 911 and has exceptional handling. The ’69 912 has always been praised for the way it stays glued in the twisties. Except for rebuild time, the chassis and motor have been together since the day the car was born; coincidentally the same day the Beatles released launched their Yellow Submarine album. Just felt compelled to throw that bit of trivia out there. To confirm some of this information see the Certificate of Authenticity.

This 912 spent the first third of its life touring the California coast  (see California registration and matching plate in photos) and in 1985 it arrived on the east coast of Virginia where it has been pampered with climate controlled garages, fanatical maintenance, and rain free drives. It remains registered for road use and is driven on special occasions only.

Drivetrain: With about 5,000 miles since its only rebuild that included new old stock heads and a matched set of Mahle pistons and barrels, the engine runs great and idles smoothly at very low rpms. Original Solex carbs were replaced with a rebuilt set, then a new set, then I tried Dell’Ortos. The second set of Webers finally made me happy. Call me fussy; I am. Just look at that carb photo! Precision Matters full flow oil filtration, an MSD ignition, Earl’s hoses and fittings were added for good measure. The transmission was concurrently rebuilt and shifts nicely with new synchros and no complaints.

Suspension: New torsion rod bushings front and rear, sway bars front and rear, and slightly lower than stock.

Brakes: 911 calipers and ventilated brakes on all 4 corners. Braided stainless lines. Pedal cluster re-bushed with bronze.

Body: The 901 body was single-handedly designed by Butzi Porsche. So yeah, it’s beautiful …and that goes clear to the bone. I have known and then owned this car for decades and have never detected any rust. The body and entire undercarriage are extremely clean and very solid. It can be jacked in all the right and wrong places with no worries. Weather stripping is also excellent. Paint is a Murano pearl laquer http://www.superstreetbike.com/features/murano-pearl-paint-back-day and after nearly 30 years has some crazing and few cracks, but shows very well. To be clear, the 912 is not painted with any paint ever offered by Nissan.

Interior: Charcoal gray carpet, black leather seats, dash, door panels, etc., are all in excellent condition. Radio is a modern upgrade (plays MP3s) with dials that match the gauge centers for a near original look. All gauges, switches, and indicator lights work. Clock is the original magnetic inductor type. It works but reliably loses a minute a day. Easily adjusts with the turn of a knob. It is way roomier and easier to enter/exit than my larger and way heavier 996. 

Do Not Buy This Car as an investment just because values have been soaring, buy it because it will make you smile just to look at it and grin when you drive it.
