1976 912 E Coupe

The 912E returned to the Porsche lineup for one year only in 1976, created to bridge the gap after the 914 ended and before the 924 was ready for production. It paired the 911 chassis with a revised version of Volkswagen’s Type 4 engine, a 2.0-liter flat-four featuring Porsche-designed updates including a longer 71 mm stroke, new pistons, and a 94 mm bore. Output was modest at 86 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque, but the model offered Porsche buyers an affordable entry point and has since become a unique footnote in the brand’s history.

This 1976 912E Coupe showed 183,611 miles and came finished in Sienna Metallic over Cinnamon leatherette. It was repainted in its original color in 2015 and benefited from extensive mechanical work under current ownership, including a full refurbishment of the fuel and ignition systems in 2025 with a rebuilt distributor, refurbished airflow meter and ECU, new sensors, fuel pump, injectors, ignition components, and more. With matching numbers and a long list of recent repairs, it presented as a well-sorted example of this one-year-only model.

Over the past twelve months, 912Es have averaged $36,800 with a low of $30,500 and a high of $48,000 for a very original 51,000-mile Copper Brown Metallic example. Given the recent mechanical overhaul and its standout Sienna over Cinnamon spec, our Spotlight car landed near the top of that range, selling at a final bid of $45,000.
