It appears early 4 and 6 cars was the luck of the draw on what you got. I would not doubt it came that way.
I would doubt it. IN 42 years of Porsche cars I've never seen a bare dash panel. The covering was removed from these pieces (for whatever reason). Any residual glue would be easy to remove. Nope, these panels need to be covered. TomT is correct.
I have never seen anything like it either.
I am NOT an expert....
BUT it is really, really odd. The car likely only had 2 previous owners, the original a fellow that was in Florida and campaigned it, autocross...and then a lady who lived in Pennsylvania.
I took the car apart for repaint. The glove box etc looked like it had never been disassembled, and the vinyl that covers the outside of the glove box looks as though it has been on forever.
I do have a query....out of pure ignorance of how these cars came off the assembly line.
This 1970 is 710...signal orange
If I recall correctly, numbers 705 and 709 were taken off the assembly line ....signal orange....and made by Porsche into GTs for LeMans trainers....
Does anyone know what the dash of a trainer GT would be like.....
If they used a different material for a GT, would that perhaps carry over for a few later cars on the assembly...
