1966 Porsche 912 coupe with a clean title and a box of spares, priced under project-to-driver sales
Cheapest real 912 we found; about 25% under the comp midpoint, but buy it only after an inspection.
1966 Porsche 912
Why we picked it
Early short-wheelbase 912s with clean titles rarely come up for under $25,000 now. Recent sales on Bring a Trailer and PCARMARKET put rough-but-original drivers at $31,000 to $36,000, and even a listed project went for $25,162 this month. This 1966 coupe is offered by Classic Car Deals at $22,995 with a manual gearbox, 69,000 miles on the odometer, a clean title, two sets of carpet, a box of parts, and a spare 1600 VW engine.
The listing is very thin. The seller calls it a driver-focused car that keeps its vintage character, but does not describe rust, paint, or whether the engine is the original 912 unit. That is why we value it at the bottom of the market rather than against driver sales. If an inspection shows a solid tub, it is a good base for a period-correct 912 or a light restomod.
The value check
The seller is asking $22,995. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $25,000–$36,500, so the middle of the market is about $30,750. That put this car 25% under.
Valued against the cheapest recent 912 coupe sales, since the listing gives few condition details: a BaT project sold for $25,162 (Oct 2026) and plain original drivers sold for $31,000-$36,350 (Jun-Sep 2026). Nicer or modified 912s have sold for $39,000-$47,500.

What to check
- The car is at the seller's client's home, not in Cadillac, MI; ask where it is before you travel
- Listing gives no rust details: check front pan, battery box, floors, longitudinals, kidney bowls and door bottoms
- Confirm engine and gearbox numbers; the included spare engine is a VW 1600, not a Porsche unit
- Ask whether it runs, drives and stops, and when the carbs, brakes and fuel lines were last serviced
- Verify the clean title in hand and that the VIN (AMS46646) matches the car
- The listing has been up for a while; ask why and whether the price is firm
Making it drive like new
A 912 takes upgrades well: a 1.7-1.9L big-bore kit or a 911-style 5-speed rebuild, Weber or EFI carburetion, electronic ignition, modern dampers and torsion bars, and better brake pads with braided lines. Keep the original 4-cylinder layout and the car stays light and balanced.
