Generator light is always "on;" most of the gauges don't work; signals are temperamental; wipers & horn are not functioning. ............ Click on the Images for Larger Picture The exterior was repainted black, but I believe the factory color is sand/beige. The paint shines nicely and looks glamorous, but it’s an older respray, with some blemishes and imperfections. Overall, the body is straight, and the doors close easily and solid. Fortunately, the body of this 912 is quite dry. ............ Click on the Images for Larger Picture Rear deck lid has holes that need to be filled.

You can perform much of the maintenance with just basic hand tools, and all parts are easily available through on-line vendors like Pelican Parts.com . Motor is solid and sounds strong.

The motor idles nice and steady. Transmission is fine. Clutch is good with no chattering or odd sounds. Shifting requires a little skill to get into fourth, but all the other gears are fine (even 2nd) with no ill manners such as popping out of gear, etc. Brakes are good - no pulsating, vibrations, or noises.
