:D Yeeeehaawww, I just found this 1965 912 for $6k! :D It has a recently rebuilt 1750-cc and tranny. It is a recent ground-up resto! Awesome interior too! What model does the dizzy look like it is (I will pick it up this weekend but I forgot and did not look at the dizzy when I first sawit)? I hope it is not a 009

That is a seriously awesome motor for not very much cash.

Good work fella

:D My friend also included in the deal a set of 40 IDF Weber carbs and manifolds, a set of 40 Dellorto carbs, two sets of hubcaps, all new rocker and bumper deco plus the originals, all tires are new, all suspension has been redone, all new brakes, interior, headliner, and ulphostery installed. There is also a box full of extra goodies. I am only hoping the distributor is not a 009 since I forgot to check it out when I went to see the car. I am currently making room for the car in my garage. I am going to purge and replace all of the brake fluid in the brake system, clean out the fuel tank, take the tops off the carbs and inspect the bowls, check out the distributor and if it is a 009, I am going to change it out. I eventually want to install a solid-state ignition module in the dizzy. The exhaust is a Bursch 1-5/8" which I will remove and get it ceramic-coated.

The only thing missing is a rain cover for the rear lid--mmm

, where can I get one in the states?

Thank you all for the comps, I'll keep looking for the rain trays.

I don't know if he's still got them, but Alan UK was the guy selling the drip trays.

If I can only get one, even if it is not in great shape, I can make a mold and make fiberglass ones available at a reasonable cost for those in need of this elusive part. :D
