Uncovered! Short-lived third model: The 1967 911 deLuxe"

[W6CZ]

Same car it seems:

Those are the two I had in mind.

[210bhp]

And all those images show the wipers parking to the right except one........but the larger image of the car with wipers to the left would indicate that it is a RHD car which can't be correct so the image must be reversed and that means a 'full house' for wipers parking to the right.

The second photo of #5 (post 28), with both doors open and the front trunk as well seems to be reversed from the looks of the steering wheel and the fuel filler lid.

Yes, pic is reversed. Here is another one.

Hi Karim, are you aware that 13360 is here in the states?

Edmayo: Not shure, I recall reading it on a thread ?

[edmayo]

Hi Karim, the information I got from the owner is that the car was built by Karmann as a cabriolet prototype in June of 64 and delivered to Porsche in September of 64. It was displayed at the 65 Frankfurt show as a Targa with the fake Targa roll bar bolted in. The owner let me borrow the car for my historic car display at the 04 Porsche Parade in Ft. Worth Texas.

[911T1971]

This is VIN 500 001.
Note Porsche crest on Targa roll bar.
