1967 Porsche 912 - 1st hand - original checkbook

The Essence.

This is a particularly valuable Porsche 912 Karmann Coupe from 1967. In the combination of black with a black interior, this example stands out from the crowd not only because of its choice of color, but above all because of its history and originality: The car was bought first-hand by its German owner. Exactly from the same owner who received the car on 19.01.1967 from the dealer Universal Motor Cars in Los Angeles. The original checkbook is available, as is the on-board folder, and shows the regular workshop visits. Further contemporary witnesses are all the documents and service invoices, which are also available in the original. The first owner, Mr. McGuire Jr., obviously had a very close relationship with his car even in his day. He documented every mile driven. Before the car changed hands in 2016 and came to Germany, it had been in one owner for an incredible 50 years.

The vehicle in detail

A Porsche enthusiast was able to purchase the car after a long search for the perfect basis for his dream car. This perfectionist was both an expert and an enthusiast and gave his object of desire a full restoration. Between 2016 and 2018, the car was carefully built up screw by screw over several years according to the principle of "only the best is good enough". After the restoration, the 912 is in mint condition, but the patina and charm of the car have been preserved thanks to the almost complete original parts. The owner has kept meticulous records of the work. The overview shows a total cost of over €100,000 for the restoration work.

A sought-after vintage classic today. This 912 takes you on a journey to Los Angeles in the late 1960s. The combination of appearance and condition results in a fascinating overall picture: thanks to the careful construction with many original parts, it radiates an incomparably authentic flair of the time.

This 912 is not stingy with superlatives. The key data alone make you sit up and take notice: Purchased first-hand with all original documents since 1967 and a traceable history since delivery. This example has been carefully restored to this largely mint condition without any time or budget pressure.

The birth certificate and the data sheet confirm the delivery condition, as well as the matching numbers, i.e. the car not only has the confirmed chassis number and the original equipment, but also the engine and transmission are "matching numbers".

The car not only looks perfect, it also drives perfectly. The underbody shows no typical oil deposits, but is completely dry, clean and without deformations.

The vehicle was imported to Germany in 2016 and has an H license plate. It is in a collection, has been serviced at the Porsche Center and a major service was last completed in August 2025. The vehicle is therefore fully and immediately ready for use.

A total work of art with inner values. The original on-board folder with operating instructions and complete set of keys and tools is also part of this collector's package. The color glazing used all around is also a rare and harmonious detail.

Conclusion: This 912 is probably one of the best remaining vehicles and an absolute design classic to boot. This combination of perfect looks, the pure essence of Porsche driving and the mint condition of an example that has been so perfectly restored and maintained is rare. In addition, the complete first-hand history of such an early model is an absolute rarity.

All the senses are stimulated in this vehicle: unadulterated sound, typical smell and the ideal degree of perfection and patina with the certainty of fully serviced technology. A lot of emotion, but also a lot of rationality, because an example in this state of preservation is extremely rare and valuable. Although this example is in a museum-like condition, it is far too good for that, because in principle you can drive it and show it off on any nice day. Gentleman, start your engine!
