Details about a 1966S

[Elferhelfer]

Hello together,
I would be interested in the difference between the very early 911S models. What are exactly the differences between a 1966 and a 1967 model?

I am asking, because I would like to get detail information about a 911S which was delivered in September 1966. The car has green dials, correct Fuchs alloys, IDA(S) instead IDS Weber….

The early 67S's up to about October 66 were all fitted with weber IDA and thereafter IDS

Hi, thanks a lot for your fast answer…. that sound fine. It seems than to be correct. I have seen the IDA with the “S” on the side. But do the early IDA”S” Webers also have an "enrichment circuit" like Weber IDS…

Moreover I have seen different painting designs of Fuchs alloys… the black painted parts were different like later models…

I've noticed in a couple instances that cars early in the production year lacked the shoulder harness anchor points located on the parcel shelf.

As noted, there was no "1966 911S model", there are 1967 model year cars that were produced in 1966. Also as noted, the first 500 (+/-) cars got the IDA "S" carbs.
Other slight changes I've noticed were some of the pieces and hardware shifting from silver 'cad' to yellow 'cad' finishes, and a change from the threaded-on shift knob to the pressed-on.
I'm sure there are a few others.

good eye but i think only the very late ones have them

on very early cars the mirror steem was the normal 911 version and got an extension in order to use the plastic housing.

Black under the engine grille was a delete part way through the production year.
Did we agree on that?
