#0310 - very original

Excuse my ignorance, but what is that item on the passenger floor in front of the seat?

That is a seldom seen, MY 1970/71, tethered (adjustable) foot rest for the (fixed) passenger seat.

strange shift knob

I had a one owner 1966 911 with the same shift knob. 901 pattern.

Rav,
I see you too have the Factory "interior rear view mirror delete from the windshield and place on the floor option" that so many of us have selected as well. Don't you find the view without the mirror mounted to be panoramic? Also, you don't have to fiddle with the mirror when adjusting the sun visors, assuming those are also firmly attached.

I love this "Herculon" look seats and door panels I got from Rusty. BUT, it is not right for my 73. It probably came from a 75. All the things I've seen discussed about differences in material and construction are true. These look cool, but the vinyl is thinner and the door panel construction is lighter gauge pressboard material, with a lighter metal strip at the top.
Nonetheless, it is SO period, it makes me want earth shoes and a "Keep on Truckin" patch for my jeans.

I need to replace the seat cushions if I can find 'em. I've thought about turning these inside out and having the sides re-sewn. I think there is a thin layer of padding material sewn to the underside too.

1973 1.7 interior. Original except for the radio. These photos are pre paintjob for the car, but they still look the same

....."mousefuzz" headliner & moveable passenger seat pics

Hi Pat,

I am interested in original Blaupunkt radios and the correct installation. Have you seen a Emden installed? It had Porsche written across the middle of the chrome surround. Noticed in your photos that you could see the speakers. Where is the cloth covering the speakers through the grilles? Face plates and covers are also difficult to understand. My years of interest are 1975-76. Both my cars came with Frankfurts and had a black metal faceplate, unlike your photo were the material was cut out.

Hope you can get through my questions.

Can't recall seeing an Emden, but doesn't mean anything because most radios were dealer or personally installed using whatever the customer wished or what the dealer had on hand. I instlled my Frankfurt myself.

Never had cloth covering my speakers. Since the car came w/o a radio, there were plastic "blanks" installed behind the grills, but no cloth. Could be a late-model item?

The dashface material wasn't cut out. There was a basketweave (matching) blank where the radio would be mounted. This was removed when the radio was installed, and replaced with new panel, from Blaupunkt, with basletweave material fitted around the edges of the radio. Wish I'd kept the original blank, as well as the speaker blanks, but I didn't figure they would ever be useful to anyone.

Hi... I've been looking for a suitable insert material to redo the seat inserts for my '71...that's close to that early 70's look/feel... although I'm not having much luck finding a local source... I had in mind a thin ribbed corduroy insert as I had in a '72 once before. The side/bolsters are getting some leather treatment in beige (cream), any help on sources or ideas would be great! The car is black, and interior gearing toward blk & tan..

Aloha

Here's a "73 1.7. I went with the better speaker enclosures.

You said yours was a mid-year '72 - what's the VIN?

Here's something new I learned this weekend. Moving parts around inside my '76 parts car, I noticed that the face plate for the 3 center gauges was plastic. It has that pebble finish like the head light surrounds. Never noticed that before since my sixes both have smooth flat black metal. So, the '70/'71's are metal and the '75/'76's are plastic. What about the middle years? When was the change?

Hey Don - pics?

My late '72 is pure, smooth metal.

Same in my 73 2L & the 74's that I've seen.

According to this webinfo at p914.com, 75-76 was the change overr years.

Also the glass changed to plastic on the gauge faces around that time IRRC.

Interior 1975

Tod, shouldn't that fog light switch have an amber bezel by 75? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

From what I've researched for restoring my very early-73 (mfgd 8/72 while Pat was buying his 72 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ), the change was mid-year 1973 MY & earlier 73's were a mixed bag of "leftover" greens & ambers.

So I've bought both just to be anal & until I can find a 914-2.0 with a VIN just before & just after my #...01954!

EDIT - 3-24-12:
AFAIK All Aug. & Sept. 72 built 73 MY 914s with foglights used the green bezel dash switch, based on my research, as they were still using up the early style green foglight switch parts. Mine was built 8/31/72 & is 8/72 on the VIN sticker FYI, and I've bracketed several other still original 914s built in Aug. & Sept. 72 built 914s to confirm this.
