5k: 1976 Porsche 912E - Some Assy Required

The Porsche 912 was built in two separate production runs, the first from 1965-69 as a replacement for the discontinued 356 and was replaced by the entry level 914 (and 911T to some extent).  However, the 914 was discontinued in 1976 and Porsche needed a replacement entry-level car and they built 2,100 Porsche 912's with the internal designation of 923 on the 911's 901 G-series body to bridge the gap until the 924 could fill in their model lineup.  Confused?  Nein!  Equally confusing is why someone would disassemble this 1976 Porsche Nein12  in Bruno, CA and then sell it à la carte via craiglist for $3,000+, negotiable depending on how much of it you want.  (Thanks to tip from Kaibeezy - seriously we should get this guy on the payroll...except that nobody here gets payed in dollars or rolls.)
