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 acquire the car after searching for a long time for the perfect foundation for his dream car. This perfectionist was both an expert and an enthusiast, and he subjected his object of desire to a full restoration. Between 2016 and 2018, the car was carefully rebuilt bolt by bolt over several years, adhering to the principle that “only the best is good enough.” Following the restoration, the 912 is in like-new condition, yet thanks to the nearly complete set of original parts, the car’s patina and charm have been preserved. The owner kept meticulous records of the work. The overview shows a total cost of over €100,000 for the restoration work.

Today, a sought-after vintage classic. This 912 takes you on a journey back to Los Angeles in the late 1960s. The combination of its appearance and condition creates a fascinating overall picture: thanks to the careful restoration using many original parts, it exudes an incomparably authentic flair of that era.

This 912 is no stranger to superlatives. The key details alone are enough to catch your attention: purchased directly from the owner with all original documents dating back to 1967 and a traceable history since delivery. Carefully restored without time or budget constraints, this example has been brought to this largely like-new condition.

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

The car not only looks perfect, but it drives that way too. The underbody shows no typical oil deposits; instead, it is completely dry, clean, and free of deformation.

The vehicle was imported to Germany in 2016 and has been issued an H-license plate. It is part of a collection, has been serviced at the Porsche Center, and most recently underwent a major service in August 2025. The vehicle is therefore unrestricted and ready for immediate use.

A total work of art with inner values. The original owner’s manual with operating instructions and a complete set of keys, as well as a tool kit, is also included in this collector’s package. The all-around tinted windows are also a rare and harmonious detail.

Conclusion: This 912 is arguably one of the finest remaining examples and an absolute design classic to boot. Rarely does one find this combination of flawless aesthetics, the pure essence of Porsche driving, and a like-new condition in a vehicle that has been so technically flawlessly restored and maintained. Furthermore, a complete first-hand history for such an early model is an absolute rarity.

This vehicle stimulates all the senses: authentic sound, the characteristic scent, and the ideal balance of perfection and patina, coupled with the assurance of fully serviced mechanics. Plenty of emotion, but also plenty of logic, because a car in this condition is extremely rare and valuable. Although this car is in museum-quality condition, it’s far too good to be kept off the road—in principle, you can drive and show it off on any beautiful day. Gentlemen, start your engines!

The car was delivered on January 19, 1967, by Universal Motor, Cars Los Angeles, to Mr. John R. McGuire Jr.
The car’s complete history is available from the very beginning, including all original documents such as the service booklet, owner’s manual, owner’s kit, service invoices, and many other memorabilia.

In 2016, the German owner purchased the car and restored it through 2018.

The car is in mint condition following restoration using many original parts. A comprehensive overview of the restoration work, including photo documentation and invoices, is available.
