"will require an extensive restoration" That might be a tad optimistic.

If Stoddard starts a 'We can save them all" contest for 912's, this one would win hands down!

Re: 912s Are getting Real Expensive!
Is it numbers matching? That should see the crusher! I think at some point a car can be not restorable.

Re: 912s Are getting Real Expensive!
Advertising this car up for sale completely devalues the credibility of the Beverly Hills Car Club, Inc. Ostensibly, they have Ferraris, Maseratis, Porsches, Mercedes for sale and they offer this piece of junk?? Really???? Times must be tough over in Beverly Hills!!

Re: 912s Are getting Real Expensive!
I am pretty sure it is just a joke. Actually it is sort of funny as a satire of the feeding frenzy for ANYTHING Porsche. Scrolling through all the pictures is very amusing. I don't think that anything on that car would be of any use.

I was thinking it's a pretty a good looking car for the BHCC.
$6,950 too rich for your blood ? There's an E Type.

Re: 912s Are getting Real Expensive
It's all just clever marketing. So that that they can put their other none restored cars are on a higher price point.

Re: 912s Are getting Real Expensive!
This outfit has been posting a lot of crap on The Samba VW site. At least the condition was described as "poor" but really, a good parts car or restoration candidate? I don't think so.

On the other hand, that E-type is the perfect car to deliver to the guys in the UK that make the lightweight replicas. The only thing you'd get back is a totally sweet E-type that actually looks right. After a big check, though...Mike Ruddy wrote:I was thinking it's a pretty a good looking car for the BHCC.

These guys are in Australia, but there are a couple of firms in the UuK that do the same thing:

" ... has been sitting." Are we to accept that on faith alone?

Re: 912s Are getting Real Expensive!
Don't know if things are tough in Beverly Hills, but Beverly Hills Car Club is not in Beverly Hills, in spite of their claim to the contrary. They're east of downtown LA.Steve Proctor wrote:Advertising this car up for sale completely devalues the credibility of the Beverly Hills Car Club, Inc.
