did they make an SWT in '69 or finish in '68 ?

This is an interesting one....the suggestion it's an Irish Green soft window targa with an "S" engine sounds like a good project for someone. Sadly I fear due diligence may lead to disappointment....ha ha

I'm almost certain SWB finished in 68 (Model year 69 being the first LWB year), however I'm sure someone will chime in if it's not the case...

SWT stopped being 'standard' in 68 with the hard version being the default. You could still order a soft window up until the factory ran out of stock... So I believe that the car could well have been delivered with a soft window.

It's a valuable Frankenporsche. If the engine/gearbox is genuine S then it's a $25k combo. The converted targa chassis not so much, unless someone really wanted a SWT E. If it was already restored back to its early longnose configuration, it's probably priced right for a weekend hotrod with a cool powertrain. If you knew you could reunite the 69S engine/box with it's chassis, then who knows...

Numbers check out fine 69 E chassis Targa

S engine with MFI is correct if number is untampered and gearbox is one of the 2 options also.

I would be asking what MFI pump it has on it should end in 005

So who wants a 69E Targa with S running gear project.?
