Used to haul the kids to the pool in 356/1500RS Carrera Speedster 80820. Wife would leave it in the shopping center parking lot -- now in the Porsche Factory Museum.
Is it the sportomatic gearbox that makes it so difficult to sell? Seems very reasonably priced based on photos...
I too am quite perplexed. I am retired and 72-years old. My wife is retiring this year and we want to move back home to Colorado. I had 11-Porsches and have sold 3. I need to sell 4 of my remaining 8-Porsches so we can return to Colorado.
I put the 1968 911L Soft Window Targa Sporto up for sale thinking it would be an easy sale. That hasn't happened and I'm not sure why. I've had lots of interest and several offers. Most just want to flip it and have complained that they can't make enough money at my asking price. I had one offer from a gentleman who said I need to lower the price because it will cost him a lot extra to change it to a 5-speed 901 transaxle; and then once that was done, the car would be worth less and I would need to compensate for the loss of value. ??? Oh, and he said what he really wanted was a 912 SWT anyway?
It will need all of the 'out-of-hibernation' tasks performed. The engine turns over but I'm not going to start is as the fuel tank & fuel line gunk will just cause more harm than good. The entire brake system will need to be rebuilt. It will need a complete tune-up and 4-5 tyres.
So, I still own it and I think it is quite a unique Porsche. I do hope to sell it though.

Clearly, and if I didn't already have a '68 Sporto Targa (#98) I'd be all over this. Great color combination, it's a softy "L", plus no stories. Hope you can wait out the flippers. GLWTS.
In the USA unfortunately, yes... but can be in Europe, too. I had a '68 S Sporto Targa (#236), a genuinely rare car that went back to Germany and not only is touted as numbers matching (with a 5-speed)
but miraculously has a California history. I have a copy of the original German title and transit papers when it was imported to Pennsylvania in the '80s. Car was never west of the Alleghenies.

These SWT are a hidden treasure and I didn't really know much about them with mine sitting in my garage for 9 years until last summer. Now I feel enlightened and all-in-all desire it more than my coupe's. Don't know all the sporto idiosyncrasies except what I read when Frank Beck made consistent comment about them. It wouldn't surprise me that you'd end up spending anywhere from $15-25K to fix everything to get back on the road safely.

Too many Porsches and one VW are starting to fill up my desert landscape.
