1967 Porsche 911 Targa soft-window
- Colour
- 'Agablau' (dark blue)
Chassis 500434 is a 1967 Porsche 911 Targa in the rare first-year 'soft-window' configuration, one of only 718 produced that inaugural year. Finished in Agablau dark blue with Fuchs alloy wheels, it was delivered new to a U.S. Air Force medical officer stationed in Germany, who subsequently brought it to the United States. The car later passed to a Swiss collector, at which point a mechanical restoration was carried out; the car was found to be largely free of corrosion.
