A 1969 Porsche 912 Coupe is currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer, marking the final model year of the four-cylinder 912. Bidding has reached $42,750 with less than two days remaining.

The car was delivered new in December 1968 to Maichel’s Car Market in Butte, Montana. It later spent time in Washington and California before being acquired by the current owner in March 2017. The listing shows engine stamping , which corresponds to an entry in the factory maintenance booklet, adding a documented element to the car’s history.

This example represents the 1969 long-wheelbase model year, the final year of 912 production before the model left the lineup. Power comes from a 1.6-liter flat-four factory rated at 90 horsepower and 90 lb-ft of torque. The Solex carburetors are said to have been rebuilt under current ownership, and power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle as specified in the listing.

The body is finished in factory Irish Green , a period Porsche color from the late 1960s. Paint-meter readings and cosmetic blemishes are documented in the gallery. Inside, the cabin features black leatherette upholstery, a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, three-point front seat belts, and VDO instrumentation including a 7,000-rpm tachometer. The five-digit odometer shows 73,000 miles, approximately 1,000 of which were added by the current owner. Noted issues include cracks in the dash pad, static from the speaker, and a non-functioning temperature gauge.

The car rides on refinished 15-inch steel wheels fitted with 2021-dated Vredestein Sprint Classic tires, and braking is handled by discs at all four corners. Included in the sale are a driver’s manual, tool kit, workshop manuals, and a pair of Weber carburetors.

Commentary on the listing reflects close scrutiny typical of classic Porsche auctions, with users discussing transmission specifications, originality of components, and technical details. View counts and the number of watchers suggest strong interest.
