914-6: Differences from year to year, Updated! Summarized in first post. Options

[Lavanaut]

After a good amount of info from all sorts of people in response to this thread, I went back and skimmed what I could wrap my head around. Here's what I've come up with (slowly adding links to pics as I have time):

Items in green are the most-recently added. Items in red have been recently updated/changed due to new information.

Cowl-to-Fender Seam: absent (metal-filled) or empty for very early 70 (up to #49), rubber seam thereafter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Ignition Switch: on dash, left of column for 70 & 71, on right side of column for 72
Interior Mirror: small version for 70 and 71, larger for 72
Dash Top: wide opening for glovebox for 70 & 71, narrower for 72 (to accommodate dash vents)
Dash Vents: Absent for 70 & 71, present for 72
Door Panels: smooth vinyl for 70 & 71, basketweave for 72
Glove Box: wide for 70 & 71, narrow for 72 (to accommodate dash vents)
Main Wiring Harness: hybrid /4-/6 harness for 72 cars
Passenger Foot Rest ("dogbone"): present in 70 & 71, replaced with foam pad on bulkhead for 72 cars
Passenger Seat: fixed for 70 & 71, moveable for 72
Rear Bumper: squared off for 70 and early 71, rounded for later 71 and 72
Seat Inserts: smooth vinyl for 71, basketweave for 70 & 72
Seatbelts: non-retractable for all years 70 & 71, retractable for 72
Steering Column: /4 steering column for 72 cars

If you know of further differences, please post to this thread and I'll include them in this list. Please include a picture if you can and I'll link to it from here.

And thanks to everyone who's contributed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Early cars had a finished cowl to fender seam, no black rubber filler strip.
