1969 Porsche 912 outlaw-style project with RSR-style glass doors and 930 steel quarters

Why we picked it

Why we picked it: the details here come from the seller's listing as it was sent to us. It's a 1969 Porsche 912 in blue with a clean title and manual transmission, and the seller says it has no significant damage. It already has much of the outlaw look done: RSR-style fiberglass doors and front and rear bumpers, plus steel 930 quarter panels with the wide flares. The seller pitches it as a base for a track car or an Outlaw-style build.

At $8,500 it costs a fraction of what 912 projects have been selling for lately, about $25,000 to $35,000 for cars that still had their engines. The listing doesn't make clear whether the engine and transaxle come with it. Even if you have to buy a used 912 engine and gearbox, you'd probably still come in well under what a comparable project sells for. The 10,000-mile figure is just what the seller typed in and shouldn't be taken as real.

The value check

The seller is asking $8,500. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $25,162–$35,403, so the middle of the market is about $30,282.50. That put this car 72% under.

Recent sold 912 project cars ran about $25,000 to $35,000 (an engine-out 1967 project with its engine included at $25,162 on BaT, a running 1969 project at $30,500 on Hagerty, a crashed but running 1969 at $35,403 on BaT). Those cars came with drivetrains; even if this one needs a used 912 engine and gearbox, the total should still land well under that range.

Where the numbers come from:

• 1967 912 engine-out project, BaT, $25,162 (Oct 2026)
• 1969 912 5-speed project, Hagerty, $30,500 (Sep 2026)
• 1969 912 crashed running project, BaT, $35,403 (Aug 2025)
• 1973 911T rolling chassis, no engine or gearbox, Hagerty, $25,441 (Dec 2025)

What to check

• Confirm the car is still available and see it in person; send no deposit before you have inspected it and the paperwork.
• Check the title against the VIN/chassis number stamped on the front trunk and on the door-jamb and dash plates; 912 chassis numbers for 1969 start with 129.
• Ask directly whether an engine and gearbox are included and whether they are the car's original 616 four-cylinder and a 4- or 5-speed 902; price the car as a roller if not.
• Check how well the 930 quarters were welded in, and inspect the longitudinals, floors, battery boxes, front pan and kidney bowls for rust and earlier repairs.
• Fiberglass doors and panels can leave fit, latch and side-impact protection issues; check the door gaps and the hinge pillars.
• The 10,000 miles is as typed and can't be verified; assume the mileage is unknown.

Making it drive like new

This is a natural backyard outlaw: a built 2.0-2.4 four-cylinder or a 911 flat-six swap with a 915 or G50 gearbox, turbo-tie-rod steering, 911 SC or 930-style brakes, adjustable torsion-bar or coilover suspension, and a half cage with proper harnesses to make up for the lighter glass doors.
