    My 300700 car has Webasto 00106

    My conclusion is that the Webastos were also used for the 912's from one and the same series.
    Webasto was probably supplying gasoline-fired heaters to other customers--they still sell gasoline & diesel-fueled heaters. They probably sent a couple big shipments a year to Porsche and they probably were put on a shelf at Porsche. They may not have come off the shelf in the order Webasto made them.

    According to the 1966 Accessories price list, the "Gasoline-electric auxiliary heater" was option 9229. It was a zero cost option on the '66 911 and cost DM 650/US$ 162.50 on a 912. My earliest 911 brochures suggest it was standard on the '65 911 which may not be a big distinction. At any rate, I don't think too many 912s have Webasto heaters. I blame the supply chain for the variance in heater numbers.
