Backdated 1976 Porsche 912E with 3.0L Flat-Six on Bring A Trailer

This car is part of The Arizona Car Week Collection from 911r.


This beautifully backdated 1976 Porsche 912E, powered by a 3.0L flat-six engine and dressed in striking Mexico Blue, is a standout offering from The Arizona Car Week Collection by 911r. The car, comprehensively modified and upgraded, offers a seamless blend of vintage aesthetics and modern performance.

Originally finished in black, the car underwent an extensive transformation under its current ownership. The build includes steel rear fender flares, a longhood conversion, fiberglass bumpers, a ducktail spoiler, and polycarbonate rear windows with vents. Repainted Mexico Blue by Arizona Collision Center, the car also features H4 headlights, Porsche stripe graphics, and external hood latches, all protected by paint protection film on the front end.

Power comes from a 3.0L flat-six sourced from a 1978 911SC, paired with a rebuilt 915 five-speed manual transaxle. Upgrades include a Quaife limited-slip differential, billet side cover, and Wevo bearing plate retainer. A front oil cooler and a stainless-steel dual center-exit exhaust ensure both performance and reliability.

The car’s stance is enhanced by 16″ Group 4 wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires, KW two-way adjustable suspension, and torsion bars (21mm front, 29mm rear) installed by Patrick Motorsports. Braking is handled by Boxster front and rear brakes, providing modern stopping power.

Inside, the reupholstered cabin features Recaro bucket seats and rear seats trimmed in black leather with Pepita cloth inserts. The dash is adorned with basketweave trim, white stitching, and RS-style door panels. A MOMO steering wheel fronts backdated VDO gauges, including a 150-mph speedometer and centrally mounted tachometer. Power windows, Rennline pedals, and a Wevo shifter complete the interior upgrades.

Included in the sale is a custom set of black leather and Pepita cloth luggage, matching the car’s exquisite interior. Offered with build records, photos, and a clean Arizona title, this backdated 912E is a rare and compelling opportunity for Porsche enthusiasts. Don’t miss your chance to own this meticulously crafted restomod during Arizona Car Week.
