15k: Tailhook: 1966 Porsche 912 with Chevy V8
If the rusty Porsche 912 we posted yesterday left you feeling less than thrilled, perhaps today’s clean and rust free example will get you going. Yesterday’s example may have lulled you in with its pristine interior before revealing some hideous rot underneath, but this one bludgeons you straight in the face with big fender flares, a whale tail and the thunderous roar of a small block Chevy V8. Find this 1966 Porsche 912 with Chevy V8
currently bidding for $15,095 with less than 1 day to go on ebay, located in Alameda, CA.
This car isn’t for the person looking to blend into the background. Everything about it screams compensating for a small man-bits but that doesn’t make it any less desirable to the lizard-brain part of anyone. It is a black Porsche 911 with a giant whale tail, who doesn’t want to buy this and live an 80s stcok broker fantasy for a few weeks before reality sets in.
Under that giant whale tail is a 350 cubic inch Chevrolet small block V8 modified to undisclosed specifications and making some amount of horsepower. Mmmm shiny.
Out back…what the heck? Why does this 911 look like it is pooping stainless dinner plates? Is that the lower pully/harmonic balancer hanging out like testis? Scraping your tailpipe on a steep driveway is one thing, but touching a spinny bit from the engine is a totally different pucker level.

I am going to buy this, return the body back to stock, get some rust going and install an anemic engine in it.
Probably double my money.
Do the Magnus Walker trick and just like you said but then add some retro race parts to triple your money. don't forget to keep the V8 and stuff to put into a Miata.
That phone is to call the little man in the whale tail and tell him to retract the crank pully…
One thing was built up solidly, and that was that there was no uncertainty that the 917 was quick, Vic Elford being timed at 220 mph down the Mulsanne Straight.used car dealerships
