    73 restoration

    I am restoring a 73S to original condition. I need some help with interior details, please.

    1. My car has a black headliner with a checkered texture similar to the dash trim texture on older 911's. This isn't original is it? The parts manual lists a black liner, but all I've seen in early cars have been a perforated white, smooth liner.

    2. Do all cars have clothes hooks?

    3. There is a disconnected factory style blank-black pull switch just to the right of the steering column. I see the dash trim hole for this in the parts manual, but I don't know what the switch is for. My car is a straight coupe, without PW, sunroof, A/C, gas heater, etc.

    Any help would be much appreciated. Here in Arkansas, I think I have the only 73S, so I can't look at other cars readily.

    73 Restoration

    Scott, will try to help

    If your 73' has a textured headliner it is not stock,
    perforated in a 'diamond' not 'square' patteren was stock. The prevalent color was off-white but black was
    also a stock color.

    Yes, all 73's' have clothes hooks (except RS-light-weights)

    The switch you are describing sounds like the factory
    driving-light switch. If you don't have the driving lights, perhaps you still have the factory horn grills which differed by the elimination of the two center horizontial pieces which made it possible to attach the lights by using mounts through the horn grills.
    Most 73's came pre-wired for driving lights, the wires
    are bundeled behind your front direction signel assemblies.

    Hope this helps Scott,

    Porsches in Arkansas

    Hi Scott- just thought I'd drop a line.I don't have an "S", but I'm rebuilding a 70T that has every S modification and improvement. I'm in NW Arkansas near Fayetteville. I'm a lifetime motorcyclist who has traded his latest bike for this sportscar. I plan on tearing up highways 16,21,23,7 and others. Actually, we may have some of the best, curviest, most uncrowded roads in the country for driving! I'll probibly be up and running late summer (I hope). Let's hook up sometime! I also have a friend rebuilding a 68 coupe.Alex Darmstaedter adgx@excite.com
