Hunter's Guide
When hunting for a Short Wheelbase 912, structural integrity is everything. Start at the front: inspect the suspension pans and longitudinals for rust and previous accident repair — these are expensive to properly restore. Early 1965 and 1966 cars sport the desirable 3-gauge dashboard shared with the first-series 911; this alone makes them highly collectible. Confirm the matching-numbers engine tag before negotiating. A well-sorted SWB offers the most visceral, agile driving experience of any 912 — the shorter wheelbase sharpens turn-in noticeably.
Market View
SWB models have seen steady appreciation over the past five years, outpacing inflation. Early builds (1965–66) with documented history and the 3-gauge dash now regularly exceed €45,000 in good condition. Unmolested, original-paint examples have broken €80,000 at major auction houses. Expect to pay a 15–25 % premium for matching-numbers cars.
