This 1968 Porsche 912 Targa it is finished in Champagne Yellow over black leather upholstery. Power comes from a 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle, and additional equipment includes twin Solex carburetors, a PerTronix electronic ignition system, Bilstein shocks, 15″ Fuchs wheels, a removable Targa roof panel, later-model bucket seats with houndstooth inserts, and a Blaupunkt AM radio.
The 1.6-liter flat-four features twin Solex 40-PII split-shaft carburetors. A PerTronix electronic ignition system was installed in 2006, and a cylinder head repair was performed in August 2017. An oil change was carried out in preparation for sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle that received a fluid change in preparation for sale. The clutch and flywheel were replaced in 2006.
A copy of the Kardex report lists the original colors, equipment, serial numbers, and delivery to Porsche Car Pacific.
Delivered from the factory in Champagne Yellow (16153), the car was stripped to bare metal and refinished in December 1986. Features include chrome “sugar scoop” headlight assemblies, side marker lamps, and a silver roll hoop with gold Targa badging. The rear window was replaced in 2007.
Silver 15″ “Deep Six” Fuchs wheels with black insets wear painted Porsche crest center caps and are mounted with 195/60 Yokohama Avid Ascend tires. A chrome ventilated steel wheel with a Nexen tire is located in the front trunk. Bilstein shocks were installed in 2003. The brake master cylinder and hoses were replaced, and the calipers were overhauled in 2023.
The cabin features high-back bucket seats sourced from a 1974 911 that were reupholstered in black leather with cloth houndstooth inserts before being installed in 2008. Replacement black carpets were fitted in 2010, and additional equipment includes aluminum dash trim, a Blaupunkt AM radio, a locking glovebox, Coco Mats, and Porsche crest lap belts. A pair of low-back bucket seats are included in the sale.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel was refinished in 2021 and fronts VDO instrumentation including a central 7k-rpm tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, and meters for oil temperature and fuel level. The gauges were rebuilt by Palo Alto Speedometer in 2007, and the clock was fitted with a quartz movement at that time.
The five-digit odometer shows under 99k miles and have rolled over. Total mileage is unknown.
