Porsche 912 1968

1968 Porsche 912 Soft Window Targa
Impossible not to be charmed by this top-condition, classic Porsche 912 Targa “soft window”.
An innovative convertible concept with a stainless steel roll-bar complete with removable roof and a zip-off transparent plastic rear window. A Coupé, Targa and full convertible in one!
The “Soft Window” was only manufactured for 14 months between December 1966 (as a 1967 model) and January 1968.
Successively Porsche also made a Targa 'Version II' option available with fixed glass rear window, transforming the Targa into a coupe with removable roof.
The 912 model became the transition model between the previous 1600 4-cilinder 356 model and the new 2 liter 6-cilinder 911.


Chassis number 12870517 was delivered new on 4th of January as one of the last produced “soft window” Targa models. Finished in magnificent “Ossi Blue” over a black leatherette interior, the car was exported to Porsche dealer Poac in New Jersey, America.

In recent years the car underwent a full bare metal restoration to authenticity. Step by step demonstrable thanks to a photographic restoration file.

Strong points of this 912 are:

• Attractive classic look.
• Matching numbers.
• Rare, early & sought after “soft window” Targa
• In the original, unusual “Ossi Blue” color which was only available in 1968 & 1969.
• Reassuring “neutral” road behavior thanks to better weight distribution compared with the 911.
• Benefitted from a no costs spared, in depth, complete restoration.
• Excellent value for money!

Pick up your sunglasses and let the sun shine again!

Comes with Belgian registration document, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, traces of USA provenance and photographic restoration history.
