Extremely rare car—one of the last soft window Targas, built on the first-year long wheelbase chassis with the fuel-injected 2.0 'S' engine.
It is estimated in the vintage 911 community that fewer than 15 of these 911S cars were built; most were for the German home market—as this car was—since all other 1969 Targas were glass-window.
This car received a complete bare-metal-up restoration in its original colors several years ago in Germany by respected 911 specialists, PSAutomobile, that included overhauling the original engine, transaxle and thorough rebuilding of the chassis, brakes, steering & electrical systems.
We have their records, plus the car's original Kardex confirming its build details, colors, options and matching engine number.
As a Euro-spec example, this car has metric instruments and most of its documentation is in German.
Part of the panache of a soft-window Targa is its lighter weight coupled with the race-derived, most-powerful version of the 2.0 OHC engine.
The car came to the US in early 2023 after residing in a private collection in Austria for several years and is currently licensed and titled in Montana.
The car has had little mileage since the rebuild and restoration, but a testimonial to the quality and reliability of the work was a 1200-mile trouble-free tour from Colorado to Arizona a while back. (That's really not surprising, because German restorations focus on driving, not minutia) We had Denver's most-experienced vintage-911 shop do a full service, tune, cam timing & valve adjustment so it runs very well, is completely authentic and a rare icon of Porsche's road car history.
We welcome any knowledgeable inspection.
As a one-of-15 home-market car, this might be the only one in the US!
The current Sports Car Market price guide gives a 'high' value of $440K, but we are offering the car well below that figure for a prompt sale.
