Maybe you guys can help me. I recall vaguely, many years ago, coming across a very early 911 (1964ish) with a dash layout that was different than the ones we have all become accustomed to. Does anybody have any info on those cars? Any photos of that dash layout? I don't believe the car was labeled as a 901, but I could be wrong.

That is when the 911 started to come into play, and was 901 initially, until Peugeot cried fould on numbers with a zero in the middle. The dash stayed pretty constant with the 5 dials.

Thanks Ed, I know the story with the 901 numbering. This car had a dash that was very different. Also, it might have been a 4 cyl model.

early 912 with a 3-dial dash?

Maybe that was it. Can you tell me more? Photos? Should I take this over to the 912 forum? Thanks.

Early 912 w/ 3 gauges.

(I actually "backdated" my 1st 911, the '68 to similar. Used the odo trip meter for the gas gauge, and no my plugs for the outer gauges didn't look especially pretty.)

I think this maybe what your looking for.

Thanks so much for the photos and the link to the motor trend article. Yes! That's the car I saw. I bet it would be worth a small fortune today!

Ed Hughes

A fortune indeed....I like his comment about having Alpha Dog status at Porsche events.
