What’s special about this listing

We are excited to offer on behalf of one of our German customers, this excellent and fully restored 1968 Porsche 912 Targa

For many years, 2shores has been offering selected first grade examples of collectible automobiles. This outstanding 912 Targa is one of those rare offerings!

History:
The Porsche 912 is a sports car produced by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany, for the 1965 through 1969 model years. An entry-level variant of the 911, it was also offered in compact 2+2 Coupé and Targa body styles. The nimble-handling 912 was fitted with a 1.6-liter air cooled flat-4 from the last of the 356s, slightly detuned to 102 SAE horsepower at 5800 rpm. The 912’s high-efficiency boxer engine, low drag, and low weight allow it to get up to 30 miles per US gallon (7.8 L/100 km; 36 mpg). Initially priced at US$4,700 (equivalent to $46,900 in 2024), more than 32,000 912s were built from April 1965 to July 1969. Sales of the 912 initially outpaced the 911 (introduced in 1964), boosting the manufacturer’s total production until success of the 911 was assured.
