    How many factory "Canary Yellow" SWB SW Targas or Coupes are there? I have 2

    I bought my 67S Soft window targa in Canary Yellow a few years ba1ck, I just bought a 68 L SWT in canary yellow from the original owner MSO and all, I have factory Cardex and can confirm the color order, I don not believe there were more Canary SWT built in 67, not sure about 68 L Do you all know of any?

    I have not seen a canary yellow factory painted car yet, anyone else
    know of any.

    I think mine is Canary.

    As far as I can tell the color is original, but the paint is not. Sometime in it's life it got a poor respray, paint on the trim and all, but in the hidden areas the color is the same.

    Interesting is a nice way of putting it. Cheap would be more accurate, its a pair of $17 Thrush mufflers hanging off 1-5/8" RSR type headers. They had a horrible resonance, so they got replaced by a home made "SuperCup" muffler, which sounded great. I thought the 1-5/8" headers were giving me a big flat spot so now I am back to the stock muffler with Bursch 1-1/2" headers. Turns out the flat spot was an ignition problem.

    Canary yellow is a rare color. I sold a 67S coupe to a registry member in N. Carolina a couple years ago.

    ‘67 911S Canary/Lemon yellow, sunroof coupe produced w/100L tank. Until determined otherwise, 306943S appears to be 1 of 1, and among the earliest 911’s with a 100L tank. The 911’s initial participation in a competitive event, the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally, was fitted with a 100L tank (#300055). Seeking additional info on earliest 100L tank fitments to 911’s.



    ‘70 914/6 (2.7l RS spec engine, but searching for 6404915 original)
