 Shown on the right is arguably the rarest 912 manufactured. It
is a 1967 soft-window Targa, a police car, AND the 100,000th Porsche
made. In April 1967, Christophorus magazine announced:
"On 21 December, 1966, Porsche celebrated a particularly proud
anniversary. The 100,000th Porsche, a 912 Targa outfitted for the
police, was delivered. It was turned over to the Baden- Wurttemberg
state police during a small celebration at the factory......The
100,000th car, carrying appropriate engraving on a silver dash
plaque, is one of the first Porsche safety cabriolet Targas
delivered, a design particularly well suited to police use thanks to
its basic concept...."
Note the "POLIZEI" markings, tandem inside rear-view mirrors, dual
side mirrors, fog lights, and Targa bar mounted flashing light.
Not visible: other police car modifications included special electronics and switch gear for the operation
of a rear loudspeaker and the flashing light, two diagonal torso
seat belts, plus seat frame and
frame reinforcement. |
