    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?

    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.

    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.

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