The Mutt: A hot-rod 1966 Porsche 912
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Porsche 912 had the body of a 911, but with a four-cylinder from the outgoing 356, it came with a lower price. For Rick Becker, Pacific Northwest Region member and 912 & 912E Register Advocate, it was the perfect mix of performance for the price when he bought his '66 used in 1977.
It's always had faded "matte" paint since he's owned it, which is now part of the charm. But underneath the body lies a hot-rodded air-cooled flat four, fresh mechanicals, tons of original parts, and a whole lot of history. Watch the video above or read the October 2017 issue of Porsche Panorama for the full story.

Feel the same about my '68; loved the video, thanks for sharing!
Awesome Air cool 😎 👌 👍
Superb car. So great to see it with the four still in it.
Glad to see it still has a flat 4 in it. I hate it when I see guys with 912’s that throw a flat 6 out of a 911 into them and then try to claim it’s still a 912. The flat 4 is what makes a 912 a 912. Whether it’s the earlier 1.6 or the later 912E 2.0 type 4 it’s not a 912 unless it has it’s flat 4. I’d rather see someone with a bored out 2.6 liter type 4 and over 200 horsepower than a flat 6 in a 912.

Nice!. Currently looking for the '67 I sold in the early 80s. I do have chassis & engine numbers.
Thank you for sharing. I love the story, and I love the Porsche.
Nice car. Love the patina
Cool car, and story...
Superb!
Great story and video. Glad to hear you didn't sell it.
John's motor will be just a little quicker than stock!
What was Stuart thinking? Promising the car to his daughter then selling it.
