    Early Targa on transporter in WA

    I saw this car today sitting on a transporter in Seattle, WA. Someone is going to be very happy. Looked like 4.5x15 Fuchs -- nice wood steering wheel -- looked to be pretty dry. I am wondering if a fellow S member has recently purchased/sold this car.

    Lots of things would point to a '68 or earlier. Fun car anyhow.

    I'd say SWB ( looks to be Wider Grilles). X-mas comming early to someone

    Not the best place and way to put on car carrier. Deck , car is sitting on, should have been lifted on "bricks" that are under deck ( can't see them, but they are there) and deffinetly straps over chains .

    Surprised no one noticed the lack of targa bar vents, something very unlikely for someone to change on a LWB. It's '67 or '68.

    The lack of rear flares and wide horn vents, headlights are most obvious cues as a SWB. Wrong front bumper.
