Paul:

Are your seats original, or have they been recovered? They look damn nice.

VIN 9113210073 - The 73rd E Targa made in 1973

Model Year/Type: 1973 911 E Targa
Birthdate/Delivery Date: September 1, 1972
Engine Number: 6230151
Transmission Number: 330843
Exterior Paint Color/Code: Emerald (Kelly) Green / 3810
(actually Viper Green)
Interior Material Color/Type: Black - Leatherette

Optional Equipment:
U.S. Equipment
Light Metal Wheels
Wheel Well Moldings
Blaupunkt Radio 'Frankfurt' (U.S. Band)
Comfort Package
Tinted Glass

The car, when finished will have Fuchs, Sport Seats with houndstooth inserts, a front fender oil cooler, and A/C.

But, here's my confusion. The car has a steel "S" spoiler, "S" Gauges, sway bars front and rear. A total "S" add-on package that likely came with the car when delivered. So, why doesn't the CofA say that?

Larry,

What kind of oil cooler are you having installed and are you keeping the battery box?

[larry47us]

What is comfort package ?

Thanks

I am quoting here from a post that our own Eric left on a Pelican thread recently:

Comfort package was hydropneumatic shocks and 14 x 6 wheels (in most cases), and was typically found on 911E's. Most of those shocks have collapsed by know and have been replaced with Koni, bilstein etc.

What kind of oil cooler are you having installed and are you keeping the battery box?

Neil: I got one of those 24 brass tube front fender coolers from a Turbo (I believe it was early 80's, but I don't remember the year off hand.) Not exactly original, but clearly acknowledged as the finest oil cooler that Porsche made.

Regarding the battery boxes, yes I am leaving them in. I hadn't heard of anyone really taking them out. Do people do that??

The best (pre-89, factory) cooler is the Carrera cooler, but it needs airflow to work best. To that end, a lot of guys remove the right battery box. With the 28-row cooler (which is also pretty good), airflow isn't as big an issue. I'd leave your battery box in place.

Riiiiipppp! Bang, Zzzzziiiipppp.

Tom,

Great Photo-Chop!! Then what do they do, duct to the cooler from the front bumper? I think that I've seen something on Tweeks that is a vent built into the front bumper (the pic wasn't of an early car). Not planning on doing that.

Jack. So, apparently I did OK with the type of cooler that I got - it was one of my first purchases after getting the car. Guess I planned correctly, even if I can't count the number of tubes.

Super Olde Threade . . . but one worth bumping, I think

I want Our Site to be THE PLACE for people to come to, who want to learn something/anything about Early 911s --- especially if they're trying to unravel/learn about the history + original state of a car

IMO --- one of the key sources for learning about any car is interpreting its Kardex . . . a disturbingly-brief little document, generated by Porsche, that identifies everything from vehicle ID numbers + options to dealer arrangements, the kinds of door keys fitted, and --- on occasion . . . some pretty special stuff

Anyway, we just had another thread where someone posted their Kardex and some interesting comments/observations/interpretations came out . . .
http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...rsonal-67-911S

I see Kardexs sprinkled here + there, so --- rather than just have them randomly turn up as we bump into them? . . . I thought I'd start a thread


As it turns out, Scott already did . . .


. . . 10 years ago


Anyway . . . I think this could be another great resource for people to use --- + another reason for people to come to Our Site . . . + learn more about Our Cars



I mean --- who else does stuff like this?
