Sixties Porsches at the Cincinnati Concours

Seven Decades of Porsche was the featured marque at the recent Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance. Here are the cars from the class drawing from the 1960s. This class featured a 1964 356 SC/GT. It had aluminum doors and plexiglass windows.
1965 was the last year for the 356 and here is an example of a SC Coupe. This had the most powerful engine in any 356, generating 95 horse power.
Here is a 1965 C Cabriolet. This particular car was originally owned by one of the founders of the Ault Park Concours d'Elegance, now called the Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance.
This 1967 611 Targa is number 712 or 718 of this model built that year. It sports the earliest version of the 2.0 L Porsche engine.
Here is a 1967 911 that has very rare houndstooth interior. 1967 was the first year for the Weber carburetors on Porsche automobiles.

This is an example of a 1968 912. The 912 was Porsche's attempt to make a lower cost, "entry" level car. It used the body shell of a 911 and the 1.6 L engine from the 356.
Here is a 1969 911 decked out in a rare factory Ossi blue color. It had a repaint in 2015.
In another attempt to make an entry level car, Porsche teamed with Volkswagen to create the 914. This 1970 914-6 was one of the few that had a 911 six cylinder engine mid mounted. Most had a four cylinder power plant.
