The 912 combined a 911 chassis / bodyshell with 4 cylinder engine (also used in the 914) to bring pricing of the 911 closer to the, at the time, outgoing 356 and was conceived as an 'entry level' 911. The obvious answer, to why would you want a 912 over a 911 is the purchase cost of a long nose. Anyway .. http://www.silverstoneauctions.com/1968-porsche-912911-outlaw
