1969 Soft Window Targa, how many built?

Just got the COA back on my Canary Yellow 1969 911T Targa that I suspected was originally a soft window car....
Turns out it is indeed a soft window car, 5 spd, leather, factory AC and special order color.
My question is this, how many soft window Targa's were built in 1969?
I know it's not very many, just trying to get an idea of what that number would be.

I see 614 911S Targa's, but no delineation between soft & hard window versions.

Perhaps someone has that information.

Thanks for that info Steve.
Anyone else have any ideas on production numbers?

Here's your answer.....165 total for all 1969 models, 12 for the 1969 911E, 9 for the 1969 911S, and 144 for the 1969 911T.

My source at Porsche declares there is only a total '69 Targa count not a breakdown of Soft & Hard.

I spoke to Howard Adams at PCNA years ago when I requested my COA and his opinion was a total of 50 to 60 911 & 912 combined. I've come to the conclusion that number is low due to knowledge of 10 in the PNW alone. I doubt 20% of the total ended up in one corner of the USA.

It would be interesting to know where the author got his information.

I occasionally correspond with someone at Porsche that has access to the records and he can't declare a count.

I haven't found an answer in the 25 years I've owned my 69 SWT.

Sure would like to know.
