The Porsche 912, introduced in 1965, was Stuttgart's answer to those who loved the styling of the new 911 but perhaps not its price point or its more challenging handling characteristics. By fitting the 356's proven 1.6-liter flat-four engine into the 911's svelte new chassis, Porsche created a car that offered accessible performance, exceptional balance, and the unmistakable silhouette of its more powerful sibling. Production of the 912 coupe and Targa ran until 1969, with the Soft Window Targa (SWT) variant, introduced in 1967, representing a particularly charming and now highly sought-after chapter in its history. The SWT combined the open-air feel of a convertible with the structural rigidity of a coupe, thanks to its removable roof panel and fixed roll hoop, while a zip-out plastic rear window provided an even more immersive experience. This 1968 Porsche 912 Soft Window Targa exemplifies the model's enduring appeal, presented in a beautifully restored, numbers-matching configuration. The car’s original Irish Green paintwork over a black interior is a testament to its factory specification, a rare and highly desirable color combination that perfectly complements the 912’s elegant lines. Power is delivered through a period-correct 5-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging driving experience that enthusiasts cherish. This meticulously maintained example is in excellent condition, ready to be enjoyed as intended. For the discerning collector or enthusiast, this Irish Green 912 Soft Window Targa represents a truly special opportunity to acquire a piece of Porsche history.
