From: Stephen Jaros, '67 912 sunroof Coupe, New Jersey; Father had car shipped from Europe in 1968 (European version). He drove it exclusively to work in Los Angeles, Calif. for 20 years. Engine died and car became too much for him so as he was going to sell it, I had it shipped out to New Jersey where my son and I restored it from 1990 to 1994. It now lives comfortably in my garage, is driven on nice days only and will be passed down to my son some day.

From: Registry Member Jon Preston, California / Taiwan; My 2nd Porsche was a 1968 912 Targa that I sold in 1980 to buy a 911. Although I liked the 911 (first and second ones) truth is I loved the 912. In Feburary of 1991 I decided to look for another early 912 Targa and found 912 #035, a early 1967 912 soft window Targa. This car has some interesting options like a 5 speed, factory installed Recaro sport seats, and 1967 4 1/2" 911S alloys. This car was a customer direct factory purchase and was imported as a new car by the buyer so I also have the original, hand typed and signed factory invoice showing the details of the car and the customs clearance papers showing the duty paid. No need for a COA. Along the way I rebuilt the engine, replaced the back window and had the sport seats rebuilt and recovered. This was not or is not a restoration and 90% of the interior is original. Now some 17 years later I still own the car and is a "forever" car.. Although the 912 lives in Calif. I live overseas (Taiwan) so I don't get to drive it nearly as often as I wish. Still original white, used for touring. From: Matthew Anderson. '76 912E, Washington, USA; It was my best friend's grandfather's. The family was going to scrap it I volunteered to restore it. I have had it since May '08.
