Het verhaal:
Originally built by Porsche as part of a Dutch order of Police cars (last in the batch) but intended to come to the USA as a show car where it was shown at Washington D.C., New York, New Haven and Chicago auto shows. Porsche of America also used the Polizei Targa to pace at least one race, the 1968 US Road Racing Championship at Bridgehampton, New York. After 35 years on the West Coast, the Polizei Targa is back on Long Island. In February of 1969 the Porsche was purchased by Bill Yates of Bill Yates Porsche. From what I have learned, the Targa was used as a display at his dealership and may have paced some races on the West Coast as well. At one point Bill Yates Racing Service was painted on each front fender. In the right light you can still see the ghost of the lettering. Mr. Yates kept the car along with his 550 after his dealership closed during the 80's until his death in 1996.
Today Polizei remains in very good original condition covering under 9,000 miles since new. This Polizei is the only Polizei car ever built by Porsche that was not put into service and sold to a private individual. It is also the only Polizei car to be officially sent to the USA and the only Polizei Show car. Another oddity is the use of Dutch colors of orange and ivory with the German "Polizei" lettering. The German police cars were typically done in green and ivory. This Porsche makes people smile whenever they see it. It is a real laugh/blast to drive. Was part of the PCA 50th Historic Display.
