My 1970 came to me without basketweave...I like the way it looks, but need to get it back to stock.
Can anyone tell me how many versions of basketweave the factory put on these cars. From what I am reading/hearing, there is reference to weave '72-bout 74, then different for 75-76... IF that is the case....what is the story re 70-72. I had always thought weave was teh same from 70 - 74ish... I got from Mark some of his 'early weave" which I gather is 72-72.... Couldn't find earlier for a teener...so bought from Mattman weave for a 69-72ish 911....damned if I can tell the difference, but perhaps it is my eyesight. IF there is a difference between 70-72, could someone post pics, preferably showing the later version for compariison.... AND.. If there is a difference, does anyone have the correct 70 for sale? thanks Paul |

Smooth leather vinyl! for door panels and seats. What about the dash? |
