The 912 Registry invites all 912 car owners to participate in the 912 Registry Rendezvous August 5 - 8, 2010.   This year's event will be held in the Sonoma, Napa and Marin County wine and coastal areas of Northern California about one-hour north of San Francisco.  We will be taking advantage of all the fantastic roads, beautiful wine country and dinning pleasures that this world traveled area has to offer.  The August 5-8, 2010 dates will provide excellent weather for our driving adventures, wine country tours, fender fondling, tire kicking and just plain hanging out and enjoying each others company.   We have planned a great time with a couple of special events to encourage all of us 912 Registry members to kick the tires and light the fires on our fantastic cars and head to Northern California to make this event a happening.

912 Registry Newsletter -  Registry Members, watch for the latest issue mailed in July!  Would you like to contribute an article, photos or other material to the 912 Registry Newsletter? Click here

We have a new companion page to the existing VIN Table, that provides quick links to the Owners Pages by 912/912E model year, body style, & assembly factory.  Concurrently, we are splitting the legacy Owners Pages to clarify the VIN sequences and reduce page sizes.     Give it a test drive by clicking below.

Also updated is the Vehicle Identification Number page which shows both model year and calendar year splits.  Now included are approximate VIN sequence splits for 1966 model Karmann and Porsche coupes constructed in 1965.  These splits are based on the earliest 912 Registry-listed cars having 1966 paint codes.  (Note that some 1966 and later model year cars exist with 1964/65 paint codes, as the earlier 356/911/912 colors could be special ordered for later cars.) 

The Paint Code page has been updated, but there's still a ways to go finding and displaying all the special color cars '65-'76. If you have a 912 with a rare original exterior color that is not yet pictured, please send a photo!

Has your contact information changed?  If so please send us an update when you get an opportunity.

Congratulation to Brett Mohr for winning first in class and overall winner in a major show, the PCA Grand Prix Region Concours!  Click to learn more>

Classics Monthly magazine published an article about the 912 in their June 2010 issue.

Rick Horvath's 912E "Fudge" was featured in the May 2010 of Classic & Sports Car Magazine, in a comparison with a Lancia Monte Carlo.  C&S and the editor, Martin Buckley, was rather impressed with his 912E!

The May 2010 (Issue 61) of Total 911 magazine includes an article: "Complete Guide to the 912 – the car that was a 911 in all but its engine and is now a sought-after classic."

The New York Times has taken note of 912s in their Collector Cars List , albeit they made reference to a concours 912 SWT sold at auction for $39,500 as having a "tepid" stock engine.  [Hope they discover the 130hp+ 912 engines soon.]   Click to view page>
