From: Adam Connelly, '68 912 Coupe, California, USA; I picked this car up in Stockton, CA August 15, 2010. It had been owned and driven in the SF Bay Area by the original owner, who sold it to her brother some years later. He drove it until 2007, when he parked it in a garage in Stockton. Overall the car has been very well taken care of, and is in fine "driver" shape. It was easily revived and put back on the road after I bought it. I plan on keeping it original and as-is externally, making a few mechanical improvements, and driving it on weekends, CA rallies, tours, etc. Still original red, used for touring; Interests: events, touring, technical, restoration, show, rallies, autocross, racing

From: Barry Fell, '66 912 Coupe, Pennsylvania, USA: Still original red, daily driver; 5 Year ground up, rotisserie restoration. Autocross whenever I get the chance and try to drive it at the car's limit, which is still beyond my driver skills. Feel it's meant to be driven and not be a garage queen, just because it has a new paint job; Interests-Events, Touring, Technical, restoration, show, rallies, autocross, racing

From: Jonathan Livesay, '66 912 Coupe, Ohio, USA; I've raced 944s and a Boxster S in the SCCA Runoffs. Buying this 912 was the best thing I've ever done.

From: Chris Pomares, '67 912 Coupe, California and Colorado, USA; Dean Polopolus in Temecula, Ca put me in touch with Craig Smith in Morro Bay, Ca. I have talked to Dean about his motors for many years off and on. I asked if he new of a nice car that wasn't on the market yet. I was willing to pay for a VERY nice driver. I was in the market for a 356, 914 or 912. I contacted Craig. He had kept track of a 1 owner car for many years. He bought it to turn it as he is mostly a 356 guy and already owns several very nice cars. From the time I asked Dean to buying the car maybe took a month. In the 70's and 80's I've had a 58 normal, a 59 Super with knockoffs ($1400)a 73 914 2.0 and a 70 914-6 with a 2.2S. I've never owned a 901 based car. I'm really looking forward to the experience. Projects? 3 point belts, North Hollywood volt and oil pressure units in the fuel level and oil temp gauges, perfect matching 356 headrests, 5 6x15 Fuchs to replace my reproduction wheels. That's about it. Just signed up with PCA, again. I live in both California and Colorado.

I added additional funds to change the color to lime green. I January of 1968 I had the dealer install a clock VDO to the dash as I required one for daily use.

From: Jack Witherspoon, '67 912 Coupe, California, USA; Still original Silver! Great website - can't believe that I found it! I've had my 912 for 16 years now, and I believe I'm the third owner. The original owner used it for rallies, as there are still plaques on the dash. I just completed the second restore (5/10). When I originally bought it, it was a true rust bucket, with a hole at the bottom of the rear glass that I could put my hand through. I recently had to pass on my Civic commuter to my daughter (just got her permit) and are now using the 912 as an everyday commuter car.

From: Keith Sweeney, '66 912 Coupe, Ohio, USA; Still original Gulf Blue, found on Craigslist after 30 yrs storage. One original owner (Russell Stone) and is all original. Red interior. 5 speed.  The original owner of this '66 912 purchased it and kept it in Cincinnati Ohio from new and also it was stored there. The motor was rebuilt around 1980 by a local specialist at the time named Slim Helson from Milford Ohio and the rebuild required a new crankcase and was also fitted with a special camshaft at that time the new crankcase is unstamped and I don't know what would have happened to the original. Other than the engine parts however the car is very original including all original paint, interior etc. I have not attempted to start it yet but the motor does turn by hand. now restoring; Interests: events, touring, technical, restoration, show, rallies, autocross, racing

From: Registry Member Stephen Sobieski, '65 912 Coupe, Virginia, USA; Purchased in June 1993 from Classy Chassis in Los Angeles, CA. It was originally identified as a 1966. It wasn't until recently (within the last 2 years) that I realized it was a 1965.

From: Rick Cool, very rare Turkey Green '69 912 Coupe, Virgina, USA; I don't have a long history, besides what I learned from Dave Frey (PO).  I believe he said he found it near Atlanta and brought it up to Maryland. My car shows evidence of having had some form of aftermarket air conditioning system, now gone.  The bottom end of my engine did not look to have ever been apart and it was leaking like a sieve.   My spare 67 engine is in now while the 69 is being rebuilt.  Many other things have been changed, but fortunately, not the color.  63-6831-L is the paint code for Turkey Green, sometimes called Turquoise Green.  Looking at Ron Bateman's car, his looks much more like turquoise than mine.  Mine looks more like the flag of Turkey.  See attached picture

From: Greg Kellogg, '69 Ossi Blue 912 Coupe, Alaska, USA; I have owned this car since 1984 and am the 3rd owner. I purchased it in Seattle and brought it to Alaska with me in 1995.

From: Registry Member John Hughes, first production 912E, Washington, USA: Aric [Gless] told me the day I joined the Registry that I am the proud owner of the first production 912E. I've been a Porsche fan since a stint in Germany with the Air Force in the 1960s and this is my third one -- and the most wonderful car I've ever owned.  I'd love to write a piece about #11 for the newsletter when I can catch some spare time.

From: Don Weaver, very early '67 912 Soft-Window Targa, North Carolina, USA; still white, now restoring, needs paint.  I have the original 912 service book which shows it was delivered to a Walter Wanger of Woodstock Illinois in Florida by Orange Motors of Miami Florida on April 21, 1967.  Walter must have been an enthusiastic owner as his name appears in the Porsche Club of America 8th Treffen to Stuttgart pocket guide held Sept 17 thru Oct 8 of what year I am not sure.  My neighbor and friend Michael Mauney bought it from his widow, Louise Wagner in the Chicago area about 1980 and has owned it ever since.  Last week [5/2009] he sold it to me. The engine turns over freely but I have yet to start as first I have to figure out how to drain about 1/2 tank of 2 year old fuel out of the tank!  It has lots of surface rust but other than the area in front by the tow hook there are no real holes rusted in the sheet metal!  The oil smells like gas so I plan on rebuilding the Solex Carbs and painting the original Light-Ivory code 131 back on and keeping the car as original as  possible.  Believe miles are original 99.9 % complete; Interests: technical, restoration, show

From: Jon Vonk, '67 912 Coupe, Oregon, USA: Found in a canvas garage of a neighbor hidden from view but visible from the kitchen window the whole time! Been sitting since 1991 under a cover, high end paint and interior in the 80s. Very presentable car overall- Only 5k miles since 1988. Only 101k original miles on car, 10k on new motor. Very little rust, one tiny bumper ding, one repaint in original [Polo Red] color, paint is ok for daily use. Bought Feb, 2010 - Took a month and a half to get it running and driving- currently daily driver... We will never sell it!

From: Oliver Melton, '68 912 coupe, Nevada, USA; still original special order black color, now restoring, I bought my 912 from an auto consignment shop in Arizona. I know from my title/DMV records that it was shipped from Stuttgart to Florida back in '68. It then moved to Arizona, and now I've got it [Nevada]. With a few exceptions, the front seats being most notable, it's sort of a time capsule car. With its low mileage, very little has changed since the 60s. I've owned it since late 2006 and am steadily dressing it up. At present, I've added a new gas tank, fixed the front and rear lights, and rebuilt the fuel pump.   Interests: events, touring, technical, restoration, show, rallies, autocross, racing; Information Newsletter Committee
