So '68 only?

So '68 only?

No, This one is just late 67 and is not unique to a 67S. It did come on other 67 models. It is very rare and in pretty good shape, though.

I meant '67 to lazy to scroll up on my phone.

Still don't know why they made this mirror, maybe the larger size to see better out back on a faster car. Only the 67 911 (only S, or mostly S) got it and 912s did not. Unique chrome brass stock with a plastic mirror that is almost identical to the 68 part but not quite. Still a unique 67 only item.

I have never seen a 67 912 or normal 911 with a black plastic mirror but of course that does not mean they don't exist. I will take Jim's input as credible, wish I has so many 67 targas.

hmmm
one of my customers has +50 911

all 67S have this mirror-minus the very early 67S that have the normal stem with the extension and the black housing...none of the normal 911 has this one.
and i dont remember having seen a non s with this

not tying to be super smart but my assumption is that porsche wanted to set the S apart from the non S and one of this extras was the black housing.

in the beginning they used the non s stem but the "mercedes"housing did interfere with the stem so they used the extension until the tool for the new stem was built.

but who knows for sure-
