is also a ground strap on the other hinge. Why two ground straps?

The left badge is an original, but it is for a later car. Notice the detail difference in the horse and antlers. This is
known as the "red bar" badge.

The purpose of this web page is to help the individual restoring an early 911. I hope the photo
documentation below of this unrestored and almost completely original Porsche 911 will help your
restoration to be as accurate as possible.
This Porsche 911 T was parked in 1980 with 57,000 miles on the odometer. It seems to be a complete
unmolested car with no modifications at all ( except someone painted the wheels body color and changed
the shift knob ). Very few early Porsche 911s survived the mod-crazy 1980's untouched. Below you will find
original detail pictures which can be hard to find. Do not miss the Youtube video below of the original
Blaupunkt radio being played for the first time in 28 years.
Early Porsche 911's are fabulous cars to drive and an engineering masterpiece. My first car when I was 16
years old was a lemon yellow 1969 911 E ( Thanks dad ). I did not appreciate the engineering then, but
boy did I love the sound of that sweet six boxer engine singing it's tune at 6000 rpm. The twin pipe sport
exhaust I added only served to enhance that sonorous melody. That yellow 911 was one hot car! Literally. I
drove the car out of my dad's burning barn with the nose on fire ( sorry dad ). The smoke in the barn was
so thick I could barely see my hand in front of my face, all I knew was that I had to save my 911. Do
yourself a favor, if you have an incandescent drop light please walk out to the garage right now and toss it.
I am currently re-restoring that same 1969 911E. I am not sure that I will have time to restore this 911T
pictured here as well, so it might be for sale in the future. . .

Pictured below is an original "orange bar" badge which would be correct on early 911s. An original badge has
the following features:
- the red bars are more of an orange color
- their is a noticeable lip on the backside at the edge of the badge
- the backside has a circled R , the letters A B circled and the numbers 901
I have read that even when new the bars were not extremely glossy and the gold plating was a bit dull. If you
find an NOS badge with a high degree of gloss and bright gold plating it is most likely a fake.
