911L targa convertable
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about a 1968 911L Targa Convertable. I have one and rebuilt the sheetmetal.I have had it for 8 years. I have been thinking about selling it.It runs,and has a 2 liter engine with 2 -3 barrel webber carburators.I posted it on craigslist last year,and received many e-mails saying there is no such thing.
Well i have one and have found a targa top cover but never found a convertable top for it.I talked to an upoulstry and top place and they can make me one. I recently purchased a Sport Fishing boat,and might sell the Porsche to fix up the Sport Fishing boat.I didn't buy it for a project but it turned out that way. So what is a good asking price for a 911 Targa Convertable? THANKS;;; |

the 911L was offered for one year only in the US (1968).
As I recall, it was essentially a 911S withOUT the powerful 160hp motor. It used the base motor (130hp?) instead. For 1968, the 911S was not available in the US (emmissions issues), so it was a bit of a short gap measure by porsche. It is not overly well known, so depending on your C-list buyer pool, it could be reasonable to assume they "dont exist". The "soft window" targa is also a bit rare. By 1969, the glass window was common and the soft window was perhaps a option by then, before being phased out. It was the "standard" rear window on the Targas, pre 1969. Price is ALL OVER the place, primarily based on condition and records. RUST is a big killer of these cars. Given the age, Originality has also grown in buyer importance. Post a few pics if you have time. Could be $5k-15K-??? markets can be fickle afterall.

Hi,i realize the soft window didn't go very well,there were only about 120 sold in the U.S. and from what i was told there are only about 6 left here in the U.S.
Being a rare breed,i would imagine it being worth more.It does have a 150 HP engine,which smokes a little under acceleration.I did keep it all origional. It has been garaged for the 8 years and sometimes it is in my way.I'm just not sure whether to sell it or not. Thanks for the input;;;;;; F.C. |

I think the soft-window targas are highly desirable for a small portion of the early 911 community. The early 911 community is already pretty small, so an even smaller portion of them are interested, but those that are can be fanatically interested. So, it seems the prices are all over the map depending on if you can catch one of their eyes. Rust free and original seem to be the most important factors. As a worst case scenerio, though, I did see a 67S roller softie with no engine or trans on Samba last week for $16K. That's probably a bit high, but should at least give you a minimum value as a start point. Since it has a motor and trans, then the value is certainly greater than $15K or so. If it's a numbers matching motor and trans, I've seen really poor and rusty S targas go for $30K. You could post the motor and trans numbers. If they are basically correct for the year and car type, then it's likely numbers matching, or you could order a CoA from Porsche. Costs $100, but you'll make that back in spades if you can document the engine is numbers matching.
As to numbers, there was a thread on the early911S registry last week asking how many softies were left. There are more than 6. On the registry, there are 11 registered 67S targas, and I'm aware of at least 5 68S softies in the US, one of them is mine  . So, they are very rare, maybe 100-500 left, but not single digits rare.Best of luck on your sale...but with a car that rare and interesting, I'd consider driving it for another decade or two. As long as you don't park it on the bottom of the Atlantic, the value will still be high and then you can sell it.
