Sorry; I am still half asleep. this early Sunday morning. I meant to say my car has the locking steering wheel option as well. as the other options I listed previously. Or is this standard as this is my first 911. ?

I wouldn't consider Locking Steering Wheel an option. Pretty much every auto company put it on their cars as a theft preventative measure. I don't think that it was something that you had the choice of ordering. It is kind of like locking ignition. It just came that way.

My main source on options is an options catalog printed for the '66 model year. That and Dr. Johnson's book.
I'm mystified by the "heated rear window option" As far as I know, all short wheelbase cars sent some heated air from the exhaust heat exchangers to the rear window. I never heard of an electrically heated rear window (if that's what you're referring to), and can't imagine why Porsche would have offered a second way of heating the rear window.
According to Dr. Johnson, "For the U.S. and right-hand steering versions, a switch without a steering column lock was used, while the rest of the world received a switch combined with a column lock." My '65 was delivered in Germany and soon came to the U.S. It has a steering column lock. The only optional "lock" in the '66 options book is a locking radio aerial.
I can tell you what the original harness looks like: The pair that came with my car look a lot like the drawings in the parts book. The buckle is a pretty standard looking chrome thing, and there is no Porsche crest. The inboard end fastens to the eyebolt with a big clip, and the top of the harness clips to a "mushroom" on the rear sidewall. The lower outboard mount is a couple of pieces of sheetmetal that form a sort of sliding buckle on the webbing. That attachment doesn't really look like it matches the the other clips.

My car has the Electrical wires in the glass , rear window deffoger ; as well as the blower vents. The knob on the dash is the type with light in it. This car was a European delivered car, so that may explain all the extras it came with.

My 73"S" came with the following:
leather interior, including sport seats
pw
power sunroof
Koni's
dealer a/c
dealer added H1's
front loop cooler
100 litre tank
chrome engine compartment light
LSD
ugly front and rear bumperettes
optional electric air pump
rear speaker enclosure
Green tinted glass
rear window defroster (2 phase)
Probably missed a few, but it pretty much has everything except the rear window wiper that is outwardly noticable.
Thanks,
Marc
wasn't this standard on all "S" models?Originally posted by marcw58

Or is it a different type of cooler? As I understand it, the "S" had an additional front cooler that the T and E did not have.
This is turning into a great thread, BTW.
Thanks,

Wow Marc, your car's a bloated pig!
The oil cooler was optional in '73. What's the air pump for? Emissions?
Edit- air pump is for the spare, right?

Not in 73 - my S came with no front cooler, but with factory AC. You couldn't get both.Originally posted by Josh73

I thought all rear speaker enclosures were aftermarket... Guess I just learnded somethin' new! I'd like to see a pic if possible.

I guess you learn something new everyday.
If an S had DEALER installed A/C, would it also have the front Oil Cooler? Or is this where the A/C parts would have resided?
I don't think this is true. My 73 came with both. My 72 had no cooler, but dealer-installed AC.Originally posted by JCR
