1969 912 Targa soft back window
Hi guys and thank you for the replies so far. I will get some pictures ASAP. I have tabled this project for 10 years and am now just getting interested in completing it. I was told by the original owner (I am the second) that he had changed the window from a soft top and the handle brackets actually have the bolts hand tightened in them still. I don't have any Proof that it was a soft top other than the back window was kind of poorly put in and some other things that gave me a the idea it was an original soft back. Top rubber falling out that was in-between the glass and roll bar for example. In the vin number or on the birth cert does it ever say it was a soft top? The car does have the storage shelf without the back seats which is another thing that makes me think the original owner was correct. You have to remember back it was unpopular to have a soft back window because of the hassles of the plastic and up keep so most people switched them out and did not brag about it... The holes in the body where the 4 snaps on each side have been filled in and the cover of the roll bar was replaced where the cutout where for the lock handles. I will get out some pictures soon and thank you for the posts of getting it registered with the clubs. Yes it should be shared with the community I agree...
