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

[72tii]

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.

More information on this car can be found at the following threads:

I think the 13/66 is not week 13 but bulletin 13 of 66.

Richard, you're right: 13/66 is most likely: Rundschreiben No.13 of 1966.

Since 1962, Porsche held weekly technical meetings T.B. (usually on Friday) which got transmitted by R.S.
However, those T.B did not follow exactly the weekly number, for example 1/62 was on July 27th 1962.

66 migth stands for 1966 while 13 for the 13th T.B./R.S/info that year.
T.B.=Technische Besprechung=Technical meeting.
R.S.=Rundschreiben.

R.S.=Rundschreiben="Circle-script"
Rundschreiben means more than a bulletin.
Its a written message which is distributed "in a circle" to all parties involved to a project (i.e dealer, importers, mechanics etc.)

Ex=Exemplar=item=No.
(i.e Rundschreiben Exemplar/Number 13 of 66)

Thank you for the translation (s)....Cliff

My "source in the Alps," has not been able to locate such a bulletin. So, for the moment, we are at a standstill. Perhaps Richard, or someone else, will make a trip to the archives in Zuffenhausen. Danke.

What exactly is the access to the archives? I will be going to the museum/archive/factory in 4 weeks. It will be my first visit and I was hoping to do some reaserch on my own car in the archive.

Hi Mike,

I know no details about this. I believe, however, you need to ask for advanced permission; probably written. I don't know what the requirements are; for example, if you need to be a bona fide researcher, etc. Perhaps, someone who has been to the archives can advise? Thanks.

This is a service bulletin M 5/69.

While it does not solve Ex. 13/66, it might indicates some kind of similar factory document regarding
912 models to be converted to 69MY technical specifications.
Note also "M 5/69" does not indicate "May/69" since document is signed October 9th.

Karim,

"Our new source in the Alps." Great info. So it is #5 for 1969 and therefore #13 for 1966 we need. We are getting c l o s e r ...Thanks.
