    Question Help to identify year and model for these bits please

    It's no secret I am on a mission to clean up around here at work. I will be offering a lot of stuff for sale, including these bits.

    My problem is that I am not so good in remembering each and every goddamn model difference for trim etc .

    I would be very grateful if the dashboard and door top experts could help me out here .

    What are these off??? I think they are SWB door tops but then I think there was a change from 67 to 68???

    Thanks,

    Lisa

    and this dash???

    I know it's RHD ...and I think it's pretty early, but again I am not so sure on exactly what year.

    It's broken in 2 places over the hump btw .


    Thanks guys,

    Lisa

    67 or 68 interior trim and dash

    Lisa
    from the photo it looks like the vinyl door caps are the heavy grain "Elephant Hide" a trait of the 1968 cars. If it is a match to the grain on the dash it would be 1967. The dash is assembled into a single unit (see illustrations) the 1968 dash was two distinct pieces, ...so it looks to be a 1964 thru 1967 dash, But I've only seen them there US/Euro ones.....

    The aluminum trim on the door caps is the upgraded "S" trim.

    Lisa, I'm almost sure the door tops are 68S (because of the trim). And if they're indeed 68 and in good shape, please let me know how much you want for them, since I would be very likely to take them.

    Hello Lisa,
    the door tops are for 1966 to 1967 911S and not for the 1968 A-Series cars, because in 1968 there was no swell at the door lock push button. Hope it helps.

    Thankyou!

    Thanks so much everyone....this board is just the most amazing resource isn't it .

    Bob - what you say about the dash makes perfect sense - I should have looked at PET a little better . Also I have just compared the door tops and dash and I am almost certain they have the same grain vinyl but I will feed the dash some more 303 so I can better see the grain.

    Claudius,

    Thankyou for your pic. It certainly clears up my confusion as to whether the door tops are 66-67 or 68. You're a champ!

    Henry,

    You need 68S door tops - looks now like I have 66-67 ones; sorry. Otherwise I would have been very happy to sell them to you.

    So, now I believe I may have a matching set of door tops and RHD dash for 66-67S...now to find the right person for these parts...

    Many thanks again guys - once again I find myself indebted to you

    Cheers,
    Lisa

    Right - those are 1967 pieces, not 68. Probably fit 66 cars too.
