Porsche 912 Targa - 1968
Mileage: 300 km
Energy: Essence
City: Orléans, France
This 1968 Porsche 912 Targa, presented in a rare configuration, was imported from the United States. It was carefully maintained by its last owner for 5 years, before joining France recently.
It is distinguished by its Golden Green hue, a very rare color worn by less than 10 units in the world. The body is in excellent condition with the paint polished and polished to perfection. There are no defects to report on the body.
The original interior retains its dashboard with a slight deterioration to the right of the clock, consistent with the age of the model. The on-board instrumentation works perfectly, and the vehicle has mechanics in perfect condition.
Under the hood, this 912 Targa has a 90-horsepower engine, coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox. An identical engine in accordance with the year was installed in the past following a breakage. The vehicle has been carefully maintained by Classic Renov, a recognized specialist in Porsche 356 and 911. A mechanical check-up was recently carried out to ensure that everything is in perfect working order. The mileage displayed is 300 km, due to the 5-digit odometer.
The Porsche 912 Targa, produced from 1966 to 1969, is a variant of the 912, a sports car designed as an entry-level version of the famous 911. Launched in 1965, the 912 combined the body and chassis of the 911 with a 1.6-liter air-cooled 4-cylinder flat engine, inherited from the 356. With 102 horsepower and a consumption of up to 7.8 L/100 km, it offered a compromise between performance, handling and efficiency.
The Targa is distinguished by its removable roof and its innovative transparent plastic rear that can be opened by a zip, known as the “Targa soft-window”. A version with a rigid rear window (“hard-window Targa”) followed in 1968. This model is also notable for having been used by German and Dutch police forces, with the 100,000th Porsche vehicle delivered being a 912 Targa for the Baden-Wuerttemberg police.
Despite its success, the 912 was abandoned after 1969, replaced by the 914 with a 4-cylinder engine. The developments in the 911 and new emissions regulations also contributed to this decision, marking the end of the 912's history as an accessible pillar in the Porsche line-up.
