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

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

One owner '74 1.8 with 49,000 miles on it. Dealer installed radio and speakers

Another.

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.

Paul

Paul,

Aptly put

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

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.

72 1.7 mid year model. silver respray over stock color.

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
Mike

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?
Pat

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.

Tod, shouldn't that fog light switch have an amber bezel by 75?

From what I've researched for restoring my very early-73 (mfgd 8/72 while Pat was buying his 72 ), 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.

does anybody have a picture of the weather stripping on the window frame? is there a trim that goes around it? right where the top and rubber meet. i have a 71 if it makes a difference.

Here is my 1974, UNRESTORED. original carpets still. Dealer installed OPC air conditioning and modifed center console with gauges to accomodate a/c.

Can you be more specific? I can provide pics, but what do you mean by "window frame"? We're somewhat limited in pic posting, so you need to clrify which positions.
Pat

Factory roof, note: NO headliner material

Build date 01/1970, Delivery date 04/1970

My ancient memory fails me on this...when did the heater(floor control) knob change?

I know that early 911's had a rounded knob - rounded at the forward end. Had that type of knob on both my early 911's. One was (1970) for the hand throttle. The other (1973) was for heat. My 72 914 has a squared/rectangular end to the lever that actuates heat.

Did any other 914's have the rounded end knob for heat (not throttle, as in sixes)?
Pat

Where did you get (or can I find) your over carpets or similar? Would like to get some to protect my factory carpeting. Thanks!

Some time after 5000 series ..will get pics..
Rx

Both my MY '70 914-4 and 914-6 had round red heat knobs.

I found quite a selection of tartan and plaids at Scottish Weavers web site, variances of materials include wool. I found a great plaid for my outlaw 911 and will aslo find on e for my orange 914.

Took a shot with the roof off for a different view.

Really nice!!!!!

Hey Pat!

Question...if you have a 1973 tan interior...what color sunvisors should there be ? Black..or also tan ? No cars show their sunvisors in the pics in this topic....
thanks for your feedback.

I've never seen origional sun visors other than black.

Hello all. First post as I just joined up and just bought an all original untouched 75 914 in Mayan green. Every piece of paperwork, manual , log book, window sticker and salesman business card. Came with the factory touch up paint still in its box. My question is this: I know the carpet has been replaced. Looked wrong , especially since the floor mat pieces didn't have grommets for the pins that are in the floor pan. I just bought NOS floor pieces with the gromets. They called the color Charcoal. Am I correct that it is the same color that the carpet in the trunk and headliner in the targa top are made out of?? Also were all the pieces glued down except the floor pieces with the grommets or were those glued down as well. Was there a " tar paper" like underpayment or were they glued directly to the floor pan? I am an originality nut so I am sure you will be hearing more from me. So thank you for all the help!

Mayan Green is not a standard name for a 914 color ... could it be Berber Yellow instead, paint code L11D? Regarding the carpet pieces, on my '73 the four floor pieces (the two in the front and the two small ones behind the seats) are loose, the rest are glued in place, charcoal color to compliment the black interior. I don't know if there is an underlayment on the glued in pieces.

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.

My brown interior is still pretty original. I think I'll get some new floor mats though.

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.

Great to see those pictures, nostalgic.

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.

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:

Hello from Germany
This is how my interior looks Click to view attachmentlike
Click to view attachment

Looks fantastic.

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!
