Another post . . .

. . . Interesting piece I got from a very trustworthy source who did a lot of research. A 69 S with option code 9356 SOFT WIN. (engine/trans and key info were partly blanked out)

That to me would indicate there was an official option code for a Soft window, at least in 1969? I had never seen this before and could not find 9356 in any literature so far.

Is the car still around? . . .

Yes that was the code for SWT in 1969, at least.
SWT continued to be a no cost option for any Targa, up and including the 1971 Model Year.
