Soft or glass rear window. Any color except red, orange, yellow. In the USA. Thanks!

A soft-window is in a whole different league from a cost/rarity perspective. Does he just want a driver? Something to restore?
Thanks. In reality it will be a fixed rear glass car. A number 2-3 car, not a project. I did find online one softie here in the east, but the price is too good to be true, so it must be rusty.
I assume you've poked around the Pelican for-sale posts. There are several disast--I mean projects there right now.
Contact Paul Kramer at Auto Kennel in Costa Mesa. He has sold coupes and has a very early 1600 too.

Yeah, it’s Gotta be turn key driver
A WTB post on Pelican would likely turn up something. There's also the early 911 registry. https://www.early911sregistry.org/f...p?10-For-Sale-Wanted-Early-911-Cars-1965-1973
She really wants a Targa, and prefers a 912.
@craterface - Does she care if it's an SWB(pre - 69)??
No, she likes earlier, SWB better. A 67 popped up on ebay, in Idaho, but looks a bit too "original", i.e. scruffy, for her, she says.
Picky, picky…
CA car, Same owner since 1968, looks like a good buy.

A friend, borderline car guy, bought a decent 914 a few years ago. Drove it for a summer, then he saw a few oil drips on his garage floor. Last time I saw him He had not started it in two years.
Think that might be a "made" softie. They aren't great to actually drive as the fabric flaps around and makes a lot of noise and zipping the window in and out can be a bit of a pain.
That car needs lots more undercar shots and a good PPI from someone knowledgeable. They rust...

Yes, I had a dark green 67 911 soft rear window and it was a laborious process, but once all in place with the tonneau snapped in it looked amazing with just the targa bar visible. I sold mine long before prices went crazy. Sigh….
And therein lies the rub for the Idaho car. If the car were in So Cal, a good friend could easily go look at it. He owns a 911 softie and knows what to look for. But paying for him to fly to Idaho and back...
I've always hade luck going on to Pelican and asking for a good shop reference in the area. If you can find a good air-cooled shop, that should be fine.
I bought my Coupe off Sun Valley Auto Club in Idaho. Worked well for me. Pretty part of the country. I forget his name, but the guy I dealt with was very honourable, as he kept our deal open on my $400 deposit for a couple of weeks despite being offered what he said was considerably more money from someone who wanted the car and suggested his word could be broken. They let me use a hoist at the facility for as long as I wanted to poke and prod. They have some amazing cars in their storage facility.They even had a loaner car waiting for me to use at the airport. Might be worth the trip to Idaho. A low rust area.
