1968 Porsche 912 Description

1968 Porsche 912 Soft-Window Targa
The 912 is regarded by an increasing faction of Porsche enthusiasts as a very much worthwhile alternative to a more powerful 911. With its lighter 356-style mechanical components and inherently better weight distribution, the 912 is regarded by many as a more balanced driver's car than the 911.
Offered here a very desirable short wheelbase, soft-window Targa in Blue over original Beige leatherette upholstery on correct silver vented wheels and optioned with fog lights, electric fan, bumper horns and RF suppression.Today, the Porsche displays older paintwork over the factory Bahama Yellow, while the interior's upholstery, front/rear compartments and underside remain very original. Additionally, the Targa is complete with ALL books, supplements, tools and accessories - including: Maintenance Record Booklet, Driver's Manual, Targa Supplement, Emissions Annex, '68/'69 Distributors & Dealers reference, stamped Blaupunkt Warranty Card and User's Manual.
According to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the motor and transmission are original to the car. Last registered for road use in 2004 this car will need attention to both the cosmetics and mechanicals as it has been in storage for the last 10 years, the motor turns freely and was in running condition not too long ago.
The 912 Targa's sporty accommodations and peppy engine produce thrilling tours in 4 optional roof configurations, and with only 2,562 early 912 Targas produced in total (according to the 912 Registry), here is a rare opportunity to acquire such an example with strong continuous collectability.
