1967 911 Targa

The Targa Top was introduced by Porsche in 1965 as an innovative response to looming U.S. safety regulations threatening the future of convertibles. To address these concerns, Porsche designed a fixed roll bar, combining open-air driving with enhanced rollover protection. The name “Targa” paid homage to the legendary Targa Florio road race in Sicily, celebrating Porsche’s motorsport success. When it entered production in 1967, the first Targas featured a unique removable soft rear window paired with the roll bar, offering a semi-convertible experience. This design provided flexibility but was soon replaced by a fixed glass rear window for improved practicality and weather protection.

This 1967 912 Targa is one such Soft-Window examples and came finished in Irish Green over a Black leatherette interior with Pepita inserts. The car was repainted in its factory color in 2012 with the Targa roof seal replaced in 2024. Other work at that time included a brake rebuild along with the replacement of shifter bushings, a valve adjustment of its original engine, and an oil change.

Over the past twelve months, SWB 912 Targas have averaged $68,000 with a high of $95,500 for another Irish Green example in November of last year. Our Spotlight car sold at a final bid of $77,000. And while that final bid was above average, I do think it could have been a bit higher had the listing provided more detailed photos, something the $95,500 car had plenty of. Solid price, but good buy if everything checks out.
