2.0L Flat-Six-Powered 1968 Porsche 912 Coupe 5-Speed Race Car

This 1968 Porsche 912 coupe was modified as a race car by its prior owner around in the late 1980s and utilized in VARA and SCCA events over the better part of four decades. Finished in a Gulf Oil-style livery, the car is powered by a 2.0-liter flat-six equipped with dual Zenith carburetors and linked with a close-ratio five-speed manual transaxle. It rides on 15″ Fuchs wheels with Koni shocks, sway bars, and 911SC-spec front disc brakes. The interior houses a half roll cage and dual GTS Classics seats trimmed in black leather and plaid fabric. Additional appointments include a fire suppression system, a 911S-style front bumper, polycarbonate rear windows, a Fuel Safe fuel cell, headers, and a straight-pipe dual exhaust. This SWB 912 coupe is now offered in Lake Forest, California by the selling dealer with service records, a car cover, and a clean Arizona title.

The car was refinished in the late 1980s in a Gulf Oil-style livery and was repainted again in 2024. A 911S-style front bumper has been installed and the rear license plate panel and door windows have been removed. Additional appointments include polycarbonate rear windows, rubber hood latches, front and rear window reinforcements, decklid pins, a 911S badge, and a cowl-mounted electrical shutoff. Replacement headlights and turn signal lenses were installed in May 2023.

The staggered-width 15″ Fuchs forged alloy wheels were refinished in 2023 and mounted with Hoosier tires. The car is equipped with an independent front and rear suspension, and stopping power is provided by disc brakes at all four corners. Koni shocks, sway bars, and 911SC-spec front disc brakes have been added.

The cabin was fitted with GTS Classic sport seats trimmed in black leather and plaid fabric in 2024. A half roll cage has been added along with a fire suppression system, Sparco harnesses for the driver, and a window net.

The aftermarket three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of VDO instrumentation including a 7k-rpm tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, auxiliary gauges, and an analog clock. Auxiliary gauges have been added in the center of the dash. The speedometer has been disconnected, and the five-digit odometer shows 7k miles. Total mileage is unknown.

The front trunk houses a strut tower brace and a Fuel Safe fuel cell.

The 2.0L flat-six was installed in 2013 and features dual Zenith carburetors. Fluid and filter changes were performed in April 2026.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle with close-ratio gears and a custom shifter. Tubular headers flow to dual straight pipes.
