Special early 1964 features on 1965 cars

302136 has solid centre

I'd like to add some more info for my car #717. Chassis, shell trim: front bumper weights, no. black hood hinges front and back, fuel tank in non-textured gray, yes, interior back seats high rim, yes

and he is one I noticed the door glass and front vent window glass has a small logo, smaller than later Porsche and it says sekurit and non number one. I have noticed on later cars the clear glass says sekurit 1 and the tinted says sekurit F mine does not have the 1.

I noticed my car #717 has a different key hole for the outside door handles it is the on on the left, the one on the right is from a later car, 1967 or so.

It looks like your car has the earlier concave door push buttons. Jacques Verdier's list shows them being used to at least chassis # 301666. Here's a photo of the door handle on 301382:

I may have the buttons upside down on my car but I haven't gone to the trouble of fixing that.

If indeed the buttons are upside down, usually the right and left side handles have been inadvertently swapped. Thanks.

In addition to being concave the earlier ones also dont have a central groove running all the way across.

I disassembled the doors this summer to put on correct door handle gaskets. I was going to swap the handles but I thought at the time that I'd also have to reposition the little arms with prongs that lock and unlock the door. I decided not to cope with all the little parts and springs...

I'm an electrical/software/systems engineer and door lock mechanisms are too much for me.

Here is the original cardboard rear trunk wall for my #717 car I wonder how many of these are still around? I also wonder when these were used and when they stopped using them?

Here is a close up of one side showing it properly positioned under the carpert hold down hook Attachment 406806

I decided that I will make a pattern a kind of a "mechanical drawing" with dimensions and I'll post it here when it is done. I have seen this same kind of cardboard on other 911 parts in the past, I havnt figured out where yet but when I do I'll post it on this thread too. It does look like the same material as the 69-73 curved cardboard that covers the two fuse boxes in the front trunk, that piece is silver and this one is charcoal gray/black.
