Original/refurbished-to-original interiors, All years Options

PO owner of my car was lucky enough to score a nos brown interior back in the day.

Unfortunately he installed speakers in the doors, otherwise it's perfect. I'm a big fan of the brown personally.

Very nice car but the wheel and shifter ruin the interior

Shifter has been changed to a rennshift with a 917 knob, but the wheel has grown on me. I really like the larger size and grip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

1974 1.8

So, another kind of revival of this interior thread. These are the 2 digit interior codes of the sort usually seen in a CoA.
from 1970 through 1974:
11 = Black leatherette with leatherette seat inserts
12 = Black leatherette with corduroy seat inserts
13 = Black leatherette with pepita seat inserts
21 = Brown leatherette with leatherette seat inserts
22 = Brown leatherette with corduroy seat inserts
23 = Brown leatherette with pepita seat inserts
31 = Beige/Tan leatherette with leatherette seat inserts
32 = Beige/Tan leatherette with corduroy seat inserts
33 = Beige/Tan leatherette with pepita seat inserts
These vary over the years in terms of materials and model types.

In 1975 the interior choices opened up with different materials and tartans and colors.
05 = Leatherette Black with corduroy seat inserts
10 = Leatherette Cameo white with corduroy seat inserts
14 = Leatherette Yellowstone with corduroy seat inserts
40 = Leatherette Black Tartan yellow (BN1)
42 = Leatherette Black Tartan green (BN2)
43 = Leatherette Black Tartan lime (BN3)
44 = Leatherette Black Tartan orange (BN4)
45 = Leatherette Black Tartan bright red (BN5)
47 = Leatherette Black Tartan burgundy red (BN6)
48 = Leatherette Black Tartan ski blue (BN7)
50 = Leatherette Black
53 = Leatherette Cameo white
56 = Leatherette Yellowstone
80 = Leatherette Black Tartan matisse blue (BN8)
81 = Leatherette Black Tartan black-gray (BN9)

For 1976 there are some changes:
05 = Leatherette Black with corduroy seat inserts
06 = Leatherette Black Tartan blue (CB7)
10 = Leatherette Cameo white with corduroy seat inserts
11 = Leatherette Black Tartan green (CB6)
14 = Leatherette Yellowstone with corduroy seat inserts
40 = Leatherette Black Tartan yellow (BN1)
44 = Leatherette Black Tartan orange (BN4)
45 = Leatherette Black Tartan bright red (BN5)
47 = Leatherette Black Tartan burgundy red (BN6)
50 = Leatherette Black
53 = Leatherette Cameo white
56 = Leatherette Yellowstone
81 = Leatherette Black Tartan black-gray (BN9)

Jeff bowlsby has a bunch of charts of this stuff on his website. Many numbers for different materials though.

[davep]

Yes, I am aware of Jeff's data, , and Johnson's Authenticity book both of which use the 3 digit color codes used in the parts manual. These are not the codes that I am looking for.
Good to add a link to Jeff's information though:

So, another kind of revival of this interior thread. What I am looking for in particular are the 2 digit interior codes of the sort usually seen in a CoA.
Examples:
11 = Black leatherette with leatherette seat inserts
11 = Black leatherette with corduroy seat inserts
11 = Black leatherette with pepita seat inserts
2x = Brown
3x = Beige/Tan
These vary over the years in terms of materials and model types.
But in 1975 the interior choices opened up with different materials and tartans and colors. There seems to be no chart to organize these codes and colors. So I need help if you have a code to go with any color combo. I have a mix of codes from 43 to 81, and am certainly missing some.
43 = Leatherette Black
44 = Leatherette Black Tartan orange
45 = Leatherette Black Tartan Light Red
50 = Leatherette Black
53 = Leatherette Cameo white
56 = Leatherette Yellowstone basketweave
?? = Leatherette Black Tartan black-gray

Black/Grey Tartan Cloth/81 according to my spec certificate

I see references to early vs late dashboards, but I must be missing what the differences are. Please school me, trying to decide whether to attempt a restoration of the original dash, or buy a repop from 914 Rubber.

Car is a 1970 Six GT clone, and the interior will reflect that with Scheels, Perlon, rubber mats, etc. Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Late dash pads have slightly different dimensions to accept the side vents. Opening for glove boxes x is different. Vinyl grain is slightly different.
I have a couple early dashes and one or two late ones sitting on a shelf for future builds. One of the early 4’s I bought was very rusty but an almost perfect interior. It was worth it just for the upper and lower dash. The repos are very nice but just like recovering a steering wheel, never the same as original.
I had a reproduction 914 dash but sold it to Gaswerks for their gold GT build.

I recently purchased a Paint and Interior binder with original factory pages for the various choices. For many year I had pages for 1970 through 1973 mostly complete. This purchase included 1975 & 1976, so I still have to look for the 1974 pages. Any leads appreciated. I do have some spare pages for 1972 and or 1973. The binder also includes 911 pages up to 1977, but again, 1974 is missing.
This has allowed me to update post 144 above for a nearly complete list of all codes used from 1970 through 1976. A little surprise was the tartan choice changes for 1976.
As always, any errors or omissions should be brought to my attention.

Interestingly even though there is a page for carpet fabric, nowhere is there a matrix that defines which carpet "color" is /would be matched with which seat color/material?
