No dash speaker in ‘71?

Hi All,

Looks like the new-to-me 1971 911T does not have a dash speaker (or at least does not have a speaker grill). Is this possible/correct?

Attachment 463300

Thanks in advance!

They came all with the speaker cover version even if the car came without a speaker

I understand that Porsche sold replacement dash pads without a speaker cover back in the 1980’s...my car has one also.

Ah, this could explain it. The car was German-delivered and imported in the early 80s. Looks like they did more than replace the reflectors.

Yep..... I got one in 1990... still there

The dash pad without speaker grilles or speaker perforations is a 1976-only part. But I've used it in hot rods, since there are a couple less places for cracks to propagate. There are now repro versions.

Trivia: I believe the 76 dash was the first one offered by the factory in colors other than black. Tan for sure.

My 73 had one as well......just replaced it as I wanted a speaker that worked , so had to come out and while at it new
Dash.

Also my 76 version dash is available , it has no cracks or flaws , excellent condition.
PM me if interested .

I have an original tan 70-75 dash with a tan removable speaker grill that came from a 1974 or 75 car.
