1967 SWB 912P (POLO). A 1 of 1 car.
6/24/21 A lot of the specs are out dated. There are a few new pictures on this page.
I will update in about a year when updates are complete.
Go to pictures of the 912 POLO Car to see 40+ more images.

I have more than 2500 hours of my time over the last 10 years putting this project together. I probably have 6 to 8 inches of receipts. The engine and engine management, (ecu, fuel injection, and ignition) alone was over $40,000.00 in 2010. Today 12/12/24 that would be close to $100,000. At sea level this car makes about 180-190 horsepower. A duel outlet sport muffler would probably get it very close to 190-195. For a picture of a dyno run, go to the toolbar click pictures of the 912 Polo car and scroll through the pictures at the bottom of the page. The 2.4 liter four cylinder 911 type engine is About 80 pounds lighter than a 6 in a car that probably weighs 2125 to 2200 pounds. It's making about SC/3.2 Carrera horsepower in a lighter car. This car is about the balance of power and handling.

F&R Brake upgrade
A new exhaust system with heat. Duel triple loop coolers. Coil Overs and custom 935 SWB Spring Plates 
|
Brakes are non S Boxster front and custom 42 mm rear calipers to retain the 1.6 brake bias. The master cylinder has been increased from 19 mm to 20.64 mm. Pedal feel is perfect.
All 4 Zimmerman rotors cryo treated. Front rotors are 24mm, rears 20 mm. Brakes were converted from single to duel circuit brake master cylinder. All NEW very special North Hollywood gauges installed. Outside temp gauge Oil pressure, oil temp, fuel, volts gauge 7200 rpm redline tach with a red needle 150 mph speedo clock The best and most comfortable early seats you have ever sat in. Custom upper with real support A set of my CUSTOM Chromed Sport Recliners. Chroming cost $700.00 back in 2013. 1 of 1 custom head rests with lengthened metal support. Each seat had hold downs increased from 2 to 4 attached to a steel plate inside the seat. Beautiful custom plaid inserts Seat rails cad plated Rear shelf installed. There are 2 storage areas. One for the ecu and one for storage. I will add more as I have time. Very nice patina paint. Front drivers fender was replaced with a 68 fender maybe 25-30 years ago I'm guessing. The paint seems a perfect match as I didn't see it when I bought the car. 94,000 miles pre Polo, 30,000 as of 12/13/24. I like the patina. I built this car to be a awesome driver. It's a great car that is currently 1 of 8? in the world and will ALWAYS be the first of it's kind. There are maybe another 3 or 4 more in the works that I know of. Currently other than this car, 1 in one in England, one in Spain, 2 in Germany, 1 in Hong Kong and maybe 2 more in the US. What's next? A second seat upper for the driver with much more support so I have touring and sport uppers? GT3 type front suspension? DONE. Custom 993 heat exchangers? DONE. Second set of 5 wheels? DONE Boxster brakes? DONE. This is only a partial spec list. Basically at this time think of this project as a 67 SWB tub with almost everything upgraded over the last 10 to 12 years, I can't say it's rust free, I just can't find any. Even with a digital camera probe. I have so many ideas. |
