1968 PORSCHE 912 SOFT WINDOW TARGA

1968 PORSCHE 912 SOFT WINDOW TARGA

In Good Running Order Needs Cosmetic Restoration

The time has come to at long last part with my very rare 1968 912 "Soft Window" Targa that I have owned since 1980.   According to the 912 Registry only 180 "Soft Window" Targas are known to exist.   Beginning in January. 1968. Porsche constructed Version I (i. e. . Soft Window) Targas with a package shelf containing two small lockable compartments in place of the rear seats.   From late 1966 until 1969. Porsche produced a total of 2562 912 Targas. less than 8 percent of all 912s.

This 912 drives well and the rebuilt 4 cylinder 1582 cc 102 hp S-90 engine runs strong with all systems in working order.  The  steering is tight and it handles like a Porsche should. nbsp;smooth clutch. brakes in good working order (new pads and brake lines). nbsp;new shocks and struts and new tires for a comforatable ride.   Shifting through the standard 4-speed manual transmission is effortless.   It. also. has a new battery.  Overall a very good car mechanically.

A California car. it has virtually no rust. The only visable rust is at the base of both front fenders just in front of the doors and the pan has a rust spot behind the driver's seat.  The pan is original and has never been patched. The front trunk lid. the battery area the spare tire well. and  the heater box area solid. Overall this is an excellent opportunity to purchase a SWB 912 in rare and interesting colors that offers turn-key weekend fun as a driver quality.

The body has never suufered severe damage. and it is very straight.   The only damage to the body are minor dings and scrstches; the body is Bondo and filler free.  The doors open and close properly without binding. and the door gaps are uniform.   The paint is not orignal to the car. and it has faded and there is some oxidation.   The interior is in poor condition and the rear jump seats are missing.   A car that is as substantially all there and mecchanically sound as this 1968 912 "Soft Window" Targa in need of a cosmetic restorastion only is a rare find.

I have all maintenance and repair records for the period of my ownership.   The vehicle's California registration and tags are current.   The reported milageis what the odometer shows. I do not know if it is accurate or not.  I will assist in arranging to ship the vehicle worldwide.   Please email me with any questions you might hvae or to make an appointment for a vehicle inspection.   Good luck and good bidding!
