Much like Porsche in today’s world, they pursued a new model out of their accounting department. Seeing the need for an entry level model, the Type 912 was to offer the best of both worlds. Classic 356 performance by way of the type 616 flat four, coupled with the new age styling of the all-new 901 (or 911 as we know it). Debuting side by side at auto shows around the world, the 911 and 912 made clear to Porsche's customers that the 356 experience would live on and that they also had the option of “bigger and better” should they want to pay for it.

The 912 Targa made it easier for Porsche to meet safety requirements, in the states, for convertibles by having, essentially, a convertible with a roll bar. Seen on many of the early cars was a zip-up, soft rear window. In 1967 a hard window was available as an option, but cost extra. That model was referred to as the “hard window” Targa.

This restored orange Porsche 912, soft window Targa is presented with lovely orange paintwork. Adorning the outside of the car is polished brightwork and factory Fuch wheels. The inside of the car is finished in black and has pleated upholstery, complete instrumentation and a radio. The drivetrain consists of a four-cylinder engine and a five-speed manual transmission.
