Rare 1969 Porsche 911S Soft-Window Targa From Farland Cars: A True Collector’s Dream

Own a rare 1969 Porsche 911S Soft-Window Targa, one of fewer than 29 produced, restored to perfection in Germany.


Few cars exude the legacy of Porsche like this 1969 911S Targa Soft Window —one of 29 ever built. This Euro-spec beauty, originally destined for the German market, boasts the 2.0L fuel-injected 'S' engine paired with the early long-wheelbase chassis, a configuration known for its superb handling and balance.

Restored in its original colors by the acclaimed PSAutomobile in Germany, this Targa received a bare-metal restoration that overhauled its engine, transaxle, brakes, and electrical systems. Unlike many classic restorations, the emphasis here wasn’t on perfection for perfection’s sake, but on engineering a car meant to drive—and drive well. Now it’s available here in Denver, Colorado.

The result? A stunning piece of Porsche history that blends vintage authenticity with modern reliability. The car made a 1,200-mile trek from Colorado to Southern California with zero issues, a true testament to the quality of its restoration. According to the Kardex, the numbers appear to confirm the matching engine per factory specifications, further solidifying its status as a collector's dream.

Sporting its original metric instruments and German documentation, this 911S Targa delivers more than just classic style. It’s lighter, more dynamic, and boasts a rich motorsport heritage that shines through in every aspect. And with its Euro-spec soft-window—a feature that sets it apart from the glass-window Targas—it offers a driving experience as unique as its build.

Having spent years in a private collection in Austria, this Targa now sits ready for its next chapter in the U.S., fully titled and registered in Montana. The selling dealer is Farland Classic Restoration - a European market restoration specialist. Whether admired for its rarity or driven for its prowess, this Porsche offers a singular blend of history, style, and performance.

Considering the current market value of similar models, this Targa presents an outstanding opportunity for Porsche collectors, priced well below the Sports Car Market’s high estimate of $440,000. Don’t miss your chance to own one of the most iconic pieces of Porsche’s 911 legacy. 

This 1969 Porsche 911S Soft-Window Targa is not just a car—it’s a rare icon that celebrates the rich heritage of Porsche’s early road cars. Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of automotive history.
