Clean CA title .. Engine # 4096710. Vin#129010758. Originally
Porsche only allocated 12.7% of its Type 901 series production
totals to be Targas (which includes both 911 and 912 models) namely
because the Targa was priced higher than the coupes, which Porsche
thought would curb demand. As it turned out, the public, and the
U.S. market in particular, wanted more Targas, and so production
was soon increased.According to Porsche records, 2,562 912 Targas
were built, which equates to about 8% of all 912s. All 912 Targas
were built at the Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen plant while, whereas many
coupe bodies were sub-contracted to be built by Karmann. Most of
the Targas coming off the production line at the end of 1966 were
911s with only three 912's reported. There is a fabled photo of the
100,000th Porsche built, a 912 Targa, shown in 'Polizei' (Police)
trim. Of the 40 or so Porsches-delivered to Belgium and German
Autobahn Polizei, most were 912 Targas. It was late 1967 before 912
Targas were exported to the U.S. These early cars had the
characteristic removable "Targa top" that could be folded and
stowed in the bonnet.... Read the full description on our Website
