Additional details include a driver-side Durant-style mirror, pop-out rear quarter windows, and 15-inch steel wheels that complement the understated appearance of the car.Inside, the Cinnamon interior presents a warm and period-correct atmosphere. The cabin features low-back bucket seats with adjustable headrests, rear jump seats, a 4-spoke steering wheel, and a 5-gauge VDO instrument cluster positioned directly in the driver's line of sight.

Whether added to a Porsche collection or enjoyed as a vintage sports car, this Porsche 912 remains a rewarding and approachable air-cooled Porsche that is mechanically sound. For $79,950
