Finished in blue with orange contrasts, this 1967 Porsche 912 Coupe was converted to long-wheelbase specifications and modified with later-model bodywork, rear fender flares, and an RS-style ducktail spoiler in 2022. It derives power from a 2.0-liter flat-four engine paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle and features 15” Fuchs wheels, impact bumpers, a front chin spoiler, front fog lights, and later-model black leather bucket seats. This modified 912 Coupe is now being offered for auction out of Tennessee.
During the long-wheelbase conversion, this 912 was fitted with rear fender flares, a fiberglass ducktail spoiler, and later-model bodywork with black impact bumpers. The exterior is finished in blue with an orange racing stripe and Carrera side graphics. Equipment includes a front chin spoiler, front fog lights, pop-out rear quarter windows, and 15” Fuchs wheels with orange-painted centers. The car rides on Sentury tires sized 195/65 in front and 205/65 in the rear. The seller notes the car was originally finished in Irish Green and the exterior shows some paint chips, overspray, corrosion on the brightwork, and curb rash on the wheels. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The black interior has been fitted with later-model leather bucket seats and black leatherette rear seat cushions. Accessories include a four-spoke steering wheel, aluminum dashboard trim, lap belts, heater, a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and green-script VDO gauges. The seller notes some cracks on the dashboard and several loose trim pieces.
An air-cooled 2.0-liter flat-four engine delivers up to 90 HP and 90 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle. The car is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension at the front and rear. Areas of corrosion can be seen on the undercarriage and the seller indicates some oil leaks from the engine.
This sale will include an owner’s manual and a clean Virginia title which lists the car as a 1966 model.

Please explain how. What mm crank and pistons?
@Chipper actually easy - I brought my 912 to a 2180 - a screamer
$25,000 offer from Great Neck, NY (11023)
Ouch. Where BaT RNM come to die. That $25,912 is not looking too bad these days.
@daniel.kinsella I believe almost two years at this point.
Thanks!
Miles
How many years has the current owner had the car?
@whitey The listing has been updated to reflect the correct cylinders in the engine
@whitey
Pcarmarket has made an error in the second part of the description. I just saw that. But the first paragraph states a four and I have stated that multiple times in the comments here. But by the photos it is obvious that it is not a 6 cylinder
@whitey We have not stated it was a flat six. Have been very clear that this is a 912 motor flat four with a 2.0 big-bore kit on it. I am not positive of the exact details of the internals as I only have the owner provided receipt of the engine build. We have never stated it being anything else other than a 4 cylinder
Be a really great start/clarification on what your selling and what motor is in the car as one could argue your intentionally being vague….
“ air-cooled 2.0-liter flat-six engine ”
@Porsche914guy All vinyl and original engine lid not included. Long gone.
Thanks!
Miles
Miles, are the stripes and graphics all vinyl or paint? Is the original engine lid included?
Thanks !
@Chipper I understand! I owner of the car provided the receipt from the shop that did the work.
Personally I have done VW engines myself with jug and piston kits before. So assumed this was the same type of build
Yes it's all very vague .bbring a trailer listed it as a 1.6 you said it was a 1.8 and the receipt says 2.0. I've never heard of a 2.0. most are 1720cc. Without exact specs it all seems like guesswork.
@daniel.kinsella No known accidents on the car. But it is almost 60 years old and hard to know the real history. Especially gives the body modifications to a LWB long hood car. Doors open and close fine. As do the hood and decklid.
Thanks! Miles
@Chipper There is an invoice in the gallery that shows the big bore kit. I am not exactly sure of the details on engine components to bring it to the 2.0
Thanks! Miles
was there any accident in its past? The door frame photo shows a bit of a gap.
How do you get a 912 engine to 2.0 L?
Bid in the amount of $10,912
@rwmc911
Not sure when or where the bodywork was done. Was done prior to the current owners purchase.
Thanks!
Miles
@Bruce914 It’s the correct the 912 4 cyl. Has a 2.0 kit on it.
Thanks!
Miles
Was the bodywork done in Knoxville or Maryville??
If so, by whom??
Thc
The engine pic above sure looks like a 4 cylinder, am I missing something? Otherwise make it a driver and play with it.
Hi All,
Just want to check in here. Thanks for stopping by to see this 912.
The car very strong with the 2.0 build. Feels as strong as similar 2.0 911s. Drives out really well, gearbox is fresh and shifts well.
Car starts up easily, carbs well tuned. Just a nice overall driver.
Under the skin it is a rare 67 912 in Irish Green. I would love to see someone enjoy the car as is or restore it back to its early glory. Much of the early SWB items are still there…early steering wheel and dash, window frames with pop out vents and other little items.
Rear flares are steel. Front fenders as well.
Please let me know if any questions or requests throughout the sale. I’ll be adding a few extra items as we go here.
Shipping is available worldwide.
Thanks!
Miles
OK, I guess this is a "Forwarded Dated" 912? IMO Sell the 912 engine, slap at least a 3.0 in this bad boy, and enjoy the crap out of it.
Steel Rear Flares, or Fiberglass???
