The '71 has engine turned aluminum sill guards. They extend from under the speaker housings to halfway along the door opening, from the top edge of the sill to the floor, and are held on with slot headed screws.
Anyone know if these were period accessories, or something more recently kluged together? |

QUOTE(Lawrence @ Oct 20 2003, 02:02 PM) Looks aftermarket like Amco or something. If it is a long lost dealer option, I think it would have matched the fluted door sills. yes, i remember those. a somewhat popular niche accessory from the late 70's. they were made for 911's too, by the same company - but i don't recall who it was. i unpacked a big box of Panoramas the other night, but i think all my pre-80 issues got water damaged and became landfill. radios and AC were dealer items too... i saw a pair of engine-turned 911 sill plates go as a door prize at a SDR Christmas party one year, didn't do anything for me but they really lit up the eyes of the guy who took 'em home, so 'tweach his own' ... |
