1967 911S Soft-Window Targa

The 911 Targa was introduced in 1965 as an innovative response to looming U.S. safety regulations threatening the future of convertibles. To address these concerns, Porsche designed a model with 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 911S Targa 5-Speed is of the ~483 Soft-Window variants produced for the model year and recently received a 3,000-hour nut & bolt restoration from early 911 specialist, Brad Baldwin. The car comes finished in its original special order color of Tangerine over a Black leather interior with Black square-weave carpeting and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. It appears to be in absolutely stunning condition and is equipped with its original engine and transmission, which were overhauled during the restoration as well.

Over the last four years, 2.0-liter Targa prices have fallen with averages going from the mid-$300s to mid $200s today. Back then, highs over $400,000 were frequent, but we haven’t seen an example sell for over $300,000 since. Our Spotlight car failed to sell at a high bid of $190,000, super low for a superbly restored, numbers-matching car. It’s currently offered at $365,000 in PCARMARKET’s Deal Tank, which seems much more in the ballpark for a car of this quality. Had this been 2021, you could have probably added $100k to that number.
