Option decoder or list

[ThomasTe]

I have been looking all over this forum and pelican, and rennlist to find a list of 3-digit option codes for 1973 911´s.

So far with little luck.

This model year option code 258 is head rests, not "heated outside mirrors", 419 is seat belts with diagonal shoulder straps, not "rear luggage compartement instead of rear seats" as stated in later lists, such as this:

Could somebody please post a complete list of these early (pre-1978) 3-digit option codes?

I think PCNA would be most appreciative, too, as well as all those asking them for a CoA.

Hi Brian,

Yes, that's great. Thanks. Seems to match my set up except that the car has correct factory under the bumper fog lights and proper switch too. I don't think they were added but my Kardex would say they were.

After carefully looking at the wiring, I'm sure the correct, even, under the bumper fog lights and factory switch, were added (well done though).

I have a list of 3-digit options in a 1970 Christophorus magazin. I will post as soon as possible.

Sounds great, John!

Sounds great, John!

Because, the option codes really are hard to come by. Also, though, be advised for LWB some of the codes changed over that series 4 year life span! We've got two threads going on this topic right now. One on Technical and one on General. How can we fix that, so the info is all in one place? Thanks.

Great Thomas!

I have another one:

549 = 3-point belts front

German delivery car

This one is wrong:

M 432 : Through-the-grille fog light

Should say driving lights, not fogs.

[Allen Henderson]

Yes, thank you Thomas. As far as I could find, this is the FIRST time, this has been published. GREAT!

Thanks, guys.

German delivery car

This is strange. My car is originally delivered in Germany, and it has the 3-point seat belts, but the code is 419.

[Zithlord]

I know the codes changed over the years. The 1973 911S I had, was bought new at the dealer Raffey in Hamburg(still exist today) I wrote to the factory and got the data on my car, among that data was the options the car was delivered with and their respective codes. One of them was 549, 3-piont belts.
