Hunter's Guide
The 1969 LWB is the rarest production year of the classic 912 — only around 2,562 were built before the model was discontinued to make way for the 914. The extended wheelbase provides noticeably more stability at highway speed and a more relaxed driving character compared to SWB cars. Always verify the 5-dial VDO dashboard is present and correct; swapped instruments are common. Sportomatic transmissions are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate the novelty, but manual-gearbox cars remain easier to service. Check the rear trailing arm mounts carefully — a weak point on all 1969 cars.
Market View
Genuine LWB supply is genuinely limited. Clean, unrestored examples are increasingly difficult to source, particularly outside the US market. Prices for good drivers start around €40,000, with concours-level restorations reaching €90,000+. The rarity argument is compelling: as fewer examples surface, prices have shown consistent upward pressure. A matching-numbers 1969 with full history is one of the safest long-term holds in the air-cooled Porsche market.
