When were 911 body shells first galvanised?...
I recall reading somewhere that the main structure (minus fenders?) was galvanised in mid-70's (75 or 76?). Followed by complete body galvanisation starting with the SC.
Would like to know exact year or vin when the partial body galvanising took place.
Regards, Mark

According to Paul Frere, the first 911 rustproofing using galvanized metal was the D-series (2.2L) in 1970. They started with the underbody and wheel arches. In 1976, they extended the use of galvanized steel to the entire body of the shell, except, for a few months, the roof.
