AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare Porsche 911 S Targa Softwindow Series 0 from 1967, one of the first produced with the “Targa” configuration that initially had the rear glass covered with vinyl, hence nicknamed “Softwindow.” In Series 0 cars, the chassis numbers of the coupés started with 300 and the Targa models with 500. The chassis number of this car is part of the “500” Series batch; in fact the chassis number is 500691.
Specifically, 718 cars were produced with this equipment, of which, according to the manufacturer’s data, only 246 were in the higher-performance S version. This is therefore a very rare model. The chassis, transmission, and engine numbers match the original ones. Built in the first half of 1967, with the following options: blue-tinted glass, radio with antenna, speaker, fog lights, Webasto heater, toolkit. It was finished at the factory in Polo Red with black leatherette interior and was factory-equipped with forged alloy Fuchs wheels, 4.5 inches wide, produced in this measure only for this year-model and thus very rare. The spare wheel is steel and—as can be seen from the photos—bears the 1967 manufacturing date!
The car has matching numbers and was originally delivered to Cupertino, California (USA). The climate of that location has helped keep the car in excellent condition. This car was purchased in 1998 by the undersigned. It was in good preserved condition, free of penetrating rust and regularly road-legal. A careful conservative restoration was performed, aiming to preserve as many original components as possible with the highest artisanal quality and attention to detail. The car was disassembled and extensively photographed. The original color, Polo Red, was applied using the correct Glasurit paint. Würth wax oil was applied to the hollow sections of the car for increased rust protection. The interior was reupholstered where necessary.
The engine was disassembled and rebuilt internally according to original Porsche specifications. The carburetors were also fully rebuilt. Heat exchangers were installed along with a new exhaust muffler. The transmission was disassembled and rebuilt internally according to original Porsche specifications. General wear items were replaced, a professional paint correction was performed, extensive detailing, and other small additions were made to bring this extraordinary car to a higher level. It is not common for a car of such desirability to come to market in such extraordinary condition. It is a very reliable car, with the six-cylinder engine in the most powerful version (160 HP) for that specific year-model, offering good torque and starting up promptly.
The car is of USA origin, regularly imported into Italy with all customs duties paid and registered in Italy. It is technically verifiable at the Naples Porsche Center. The Certificate of Origin issued by Porsche Italy and the vehicle Kardex with all original specifications are also available.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
