1969+ for fixed rear window - looks 911T or possibly 912 (my preference but I'm not sure why). Are full orange front lights (8th thumb) a US spec addition? |

I really loved this car in this colour! Was it Gulfblau ??? |

actor specifies it as 1973 by script, so no warranty as it looks older by hub cabs and everything http://www.carparts-koeln.de/shop/porsche.4921/789299 but Gulfblau was available from 1973 to 1986 there was Gulf orange as well inspired by Gulf team 917 Link to "img.photobucket.com" -- Last edit: 2012-07-19 13:50:49 |

Body is 69-71 (fixed window as above plus longer wb than previously, but no 72+ oil filler on right rear wing nor black rear grille with 2.4 badge). If 912, this was dropped for 70my so this would be final year production. |

Yes, andrepa, there were a gruop of Gulf named Porsche colours at that time. |

Please apologize my cluelessness about Porsche-details, but were these all-plastic clocks (1st thumbnail http://pics.imcdb.org/14694/sat12012-07-1720-21-47.jpg ) already used in the late 60ies 911? |

Not sure - I've got 2 books with lots of exterior shots, but not much internal. One says there was a change for 1970 - "Instruments were now installed from the interior side, and held in place by a rubber ring" - if this is the style shown then 912 can be dropped as a possibility and we have 1970 911T. Also realised the steering wheel is 69+. |

Hmm, Wiki doesn't say anything about interior details. Only one better of the uncountable many 911-books may help . And *cough* there's a K 70-part visible, too. The eloxed knob on the clockhand... -- Last edit: 2012-07-19 22:03:24 |
