searching around for a period roof rack for a coupe 69T.
has anyone got any shots of one 'in action' from around that time as i cant find any.

i found this shot of an AMCO that was sold on pelican ages ago - it hasnt got a rear support though and not sure if its period correct... or if they are possible to get hold of any more?


and theres this which is fantastic on 911T registry... but i've never seen one of those in reality...

I've only ever seen the ski rack that mounted to the rear decklid from the mid 70s. It looked a bit strange, but it sure beat putting skis out the sunroof!

Leitz (do a search) used to make the chrome racks for these cars, begining with the 356s. Occasionally they show up on eBay. Be prepared to have deep pockets.

i can only find 356 leitz racks for the deck lid.
seems like theres a gap in the market for these things. :-( not fair!

some pics for inspiration.
i love this one -

Well, for what it's worth, while those skis mounted to 911s look cool (and on 356s even cooler), and the rack over the engine compartment on the 356 is kind of cool too, IMHO the rack itself on a 911 looks bad and detracts from the car. So, it's not like if I see one going down the road I think "hey, look at that classic 911 with the classic roof rack."

Since that's my position, when I need a rack on my '73, I use my Yakima, with it's nice wide, rubber covered clasps. It doesn't harm the car. It works great. And it's back in the closet when not needed.
