The vehicle in detail

Chassis No. 350442
Engine No. 830991
Transmission No. 221516

According to its factory Kardex, chassis 350442 was completed on 22 July 1965 with engine number 830991 and a desirable five-speed gearbox, finished in extra-cost Dolphin Grey (6410) over Black leatherette upholstery with corduroy seat inserts, and equipped from new as it appears today with a sliding sunroof, chrome steel wheels, antenna, loudspeaker, and Dunlop tires—likely rivalling many 911s on the basis of total cost! The Kardex further records delivery through Schultz of Düsseldorf to first owner Werner Kossmann on 26 July 1965, with numerous warranty claims recorded through 1967.

Few early 912s better capture the model’s transitional character than this exceptionally uncommon, painted-dash, three-gauge example. As reported by a previous owner on the 912 Bulletin Board System forum, it found its way to California through Ogner Porsche Audi, retaining its Ogner license plate frames along the way. Submitted for restoration in Southern California circa 2010, the car was noted to have been repainted in Pearlescent White at some point during its life, though its original Dolphin Grey finish survived in the door jambs and on the dashboard. After stripping the rest of the car to bare metal, the last three chassis digits, “442,” were noted to be stamped into the headlight buckets—a telltale sign of body originality on 912s.

The car was subsequently refinished in its original Dolphin Grey livery, with the restoration still presenting beautifully some 16 years later. With its rare factory sunroof and five-speed gearbox, matching-numbers status, and rare early-production details, this wonderfully preserved 912 is ready to be enjoyed on the open road.
