    In the un-scanned photo you can see a wood dash and with no 911 on the engine lid, I think it's a '64. Also note the tail pipe.

    Is that some sort of round emblem on the Targa bar?

    That's the show car - from late '65, I think. I have a brochure that has that car on it. It has a round gold emblem with a Porsche crest.
