It swaps in flat-six power and a Carrera RS 2.7-inspired look. It sits on Cars and Bids at $18,000 with four days to go.1966 Porsche 912 CoupeCars & BidsWhat it's worth right nowThe long-hood 912 has become a genuinely appreciating vintage Porsche, though modified examples occupy their own market. According to Classic.com and current data, stock 912 coupes generally trade from close to $30,000 into the mid $50,000s depending on condition and originality, while a modified, flat-six-swapped tribute like this one trades on the quality of the build rather than originality.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe build and character drive the value here, tempered by the modifications. The flat-six swap and RS tribute appeal to a specific buyer, and the extensive documented work supports the value, though it is neither a stock 912 nor a real RS. Fair value lands at $35,000 to $58,000, with $45,000 the most likely close.1966 Porsche 912 CoupeCars & BidsCondition and detailsThe build is comprehensive. The original flat-four has been replaced with a 2.2-liter air-cooled flat-six on dual triple-choke PMO carburetors, backed by a Type 901 five-speed, and the seller reports the engine, transmission, and suspension were rebuilt, with more than $32,000 in documented work.1966 Porsche 912 CoupeCars & BidsThe RS 2.7 tribute treatment is thorough. It wears a fiberglass hood and deck lid, a 2.7 RS-style front bumper and air dam, a ducktail spoiler, Fuchs-style wheels, a roll cage, a race-style driver's seat, and Sparco harnesses, and the rear suspension was converted to the later long-wheelbase geometry to suit the wider bodywork.1966 Porsche 912 CoupeCars & BidsThe condition is that of a driver, so weigh it accordingly. There is misaligned panel fit on the nose, overspray on the rear bumper and rockers, wear on the driver's seat, and corrosion on some interior, engine-bay, and underbody components, and the five-digit odometer shows 90,900 miles, so treat it as shown.1966 Porsche 912 CoupeCars & BidsAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakePorscheModel912 CoupeYear1966Mileage90,900 miles shownEngine2.2-liter air-cooled flat-six, swappedPowerNot specified by the sellerTransmission5-speed manualDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorGrand Prix White and RedInterior colorBlack and PepitaCurrent bid$18,000, with four days leftInterested in this 1966 Porsche 912 Coupe? View the listing here.What makes the 912 uniqueThe 912 arrived in 1965 to replace the outgoing 356, pairing the soon-to-be-iconic 901 body with an air-cooled flat-four to create a lighter, more affordable alternative to the six-cylinder 911. Its lighter engine gave it excellent balance and a nimble, tossable character that enthusiasts have come to appreciate, and the timeless long-hood shape is every bit as beautiful as its more expensive sibling. For years the 912 lived in the 911's shadow, but it has since come into its own as a genuinely collectible and appreciating vintage Porsche in its own right.1966 Porsche 912 CoupeCars & BidsThis example reimagines that platform with a flat-six swap and a tribute to the legendary Carrera RS 2.7, the thinly veiled race car for the road that launched the storied line of hardcore 911s. The added cylinders bring genuinely more punch than the original flat-four, while the RS-style aerodynamics and stripped, purposeful interior give it real visual drama, creating a characterful, spirited driver for someone who prizes the experience over factory originality.My takeThis is a charismatic and spirited vintage Porsche, and the appeal is a long-hood 912 with genuinely more punch and real visual drama than a stock car. The flat-six swap, the well-executed RS 2.7 tribute treatment, and the extensive documented build make it a compelling driver for a buyer who prizes character over originality, and the long-hood shape is timeless.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value sits at $35,000 to $58,000, with $45,000 the most likely result, and the crux is its modified, non-original nature rather than the quality of the build. Before bidding, review the extensive build documentation, understand that this is neither a stock 912 nor a genuine RS, inspect the noted corrosion and panel fit, and get a specialist inspection. Handle that, and this is a characterful, upgraded vintage Porsche to drive and enjoy.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
