Rare Early Options

[Scott A]

This is the 67 Elford, Monaco Rallye car.

Seems to have many early options.
outside thermometer (at zero Celsius), dead pedal, timers, map light, some interesting circle to right of dash badge, a luggage anchor also nearby, a pen holder, foot actuated horn for the passenger, sport seat and comfort seat, apparently so passenger can recline to take a nap.
some accessories, options, that racers or the factory had as an option to add to their cars.

I wonder what is in those boxes, windshield wiper blades?

in the mid 70s, my brother was in a truck being driven by his 18 or 19 yr old mechanic friend…who crashed and rolled the truck...who had a crankshaft inside the cab....my brother said he could see the crankshaft rolling around and somehow kept missing him. (leading me to think, not the best place for a lug wrench)

And The plaque from my 70S, first owner.

Never heard of/read about/saw anything like this, before


Any pics of yours to share?



After all, without a picture, it's like it never --- etc, etc

Were alloy/steel wheels ever optional on early 911s? They were made in 5.....5 1/2....6.....7....and 9x15.

Perhaps the interesting circle is to plug in a Potti ( Navigation Magnifer ) ? Mine did in the 70s.

. . . in the early days they used often alloy/steel wheels on racing and rallye 911s . . .

Here is a photo of my 69’S `GT' and the Barrios 911 both using 906 rims in the rear. This photo in Madrid , May 1970

Super rare is the child's leg extension pad for the back seat. Not sure what else to call it. It clips in on the belt strap and extends the seat bottom out. Looks like it would be a weird headrest Anyone ever seen one?

Yup . . .

. . . Not-so-much an option as a one-year-only/very-weird piece of equipment . . .

. . . the '71-only rear seat bolsters --- more, here . . .

Seen these gizmos exactly twice --- + both here, on The Registry. The only other set that I've seen/read/heard about are on Brian Fryar (fryardds) 's 'Patrick' (9111300499)

Anybody else have a set o' these? . . .

. . . rear seat extensions --- conceived to increase the rear seat size and qualify the 911 as a sedan (for FIA?)

Diiiiiidn't quite turn-out


More, here . . .

Thanks for the info. I found the exact one, [ same color] that came with trim panel from below the rear window from a SWB early car
