1974 911 options

[06C2S]

Ok, just purchased my first Air Cooled and seller gave me a COA that list the following optional equipment and I can't find anything on them and the seller doesn't know either. Also yes I have already searched Google advanced and searched here as well.

Option Group K22....??
Equipment for CA...but car is a 74 so no smog
1,5 PS Starter.....


any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have researched Group Options, and have come across K22 before, but so far have no information on what individual options it includes.
1,5 PS Starter is a 1 and a half horsepower starter motor; the normal was 0.8 horse.
Equipment for CA would include specific emission equipment as well as normal USA equipment like speedo & odo in miles, sealed beam headlights, safety glass windshield, seatbelts, compliance decal, VIN tag on A pillar, USA manual and warranty books, USA ride height, North American engine spec; those sorts of things.

It depends on what car you have: base 911, 911S or 911 Carrera? Coupe or Targa?

You can call Porsche Cars North America and talk to the people in the CofA department. If you are really nice, they will call the factory and get you the data (usually takes a few days). If you are super nice they may even reprint the CofA with the option breakdown once they have it.

The K-code packages were put together by PCNA to bundle commonly ordered option grouping. A common grouping on the base 911 was something like this: S instruments, rear pop out window, forged wheels (Fuchs). Options in 74 were: Sunroof, power windows, forged wheels, cast alloys (for base steel was standard), 5-speed, rear window pop outs (standard on S), full gauges (standard on S), wheel arch trim, alloy rocker trim, fog lights, various radios, air-conditioning, limited slip, front oil cooler, sport seats, leather, various interior trims, etc.

The above poster is incorrect, no 1974 model received thermal reactors regardless of market. They came in 1975 for CA cars and 1976-1977 for all US Market cars. There were some small emissions items in CA for 74 (can't recall them all) but a non issue as its smog exempt due to age in CA.

There were no thermal reactors on 74’s. The first year was 75.

[group911@aol.co]

74's were also pre US ride height cars

[1979-930]

A couple options in 74 were 3 spoke steering wheel and intermittent windshield wipers.
The book I have does not have the codes for the options.

My base '74 911 is equipped with the "S" full instruments, pop out rear windows, Fuch's 15" wheels, front and rear sway bars, "S" calipers on the front and 5 speed trans. No idea what the package code(s) for these options are however. It has none of the other options listed.

My mistake thanks for the correction

[djpateman]

One thing to note regarding Group Options is that the codes tend to be year specific. Mostly G codes in 1973, mostly K codes in 1974, mostly V codes in 1977, mostly Y codes in 1978. So the option combo could be the same in consecutive years, but with a new code.

Isn't K22 the cruise control?

I now of an ex-US 74 here in Germany that reads/lists the same as in post #1

[06C2S]

I finally received the car on Monday. K22 is not cruise control. My car has the following things on it that are not listed on the COA
1. 911S gauages
2. 911S steering wheel
3. Fuchs
I have reached out to PCNA to get clarification and will post if I get a answer.

K22 may include cruise control, but a Group Option is always a combination of several individual options. Also should be priced at a discount compared to the sum of the individual options.

Ok I emailed PCNA and this is the quote I got back

"Equipment for California refers to the fact the vehicle met the safety standards for California. Before 1980, Standard Emissions did not exist through California still had requirements manufacturers needed to meet. This option confirms your vehicle met those safety/emission standards."

"Option group K22 included the below options
Bumpers w/ Impact Absorbers - F/R
Forged Alloy Wheels
Stabilizer Bars F/R
Oil Tank, Oil Level & Oil Pressure Gauges (Metric or English)
Sport Steering Wheel 380mm"

[manbridge 74]

That is a nice 74. So is the 67 Camaro.

Very interesting on the K22 bits. Mine came with plain gauges, front bar only, cookie cutter wheels etc. It also appears to have factory crush tube absorbers. So guess I’ll be selling the Rennline ones I bought.

[manbridge 74]

Call me biased but you picked a nice color too.

My '74 (originally a CA car) has the impact bumpers, Fuchs wheels, F/R swar bars and "S" gauges .
Not sure about the Sport Steering Wheel however, what does it look like ?,

Do you have the "S" calipers on the front wheels ? I thought they might be part of the K22 based on the above.

[06C2S]

Manbridge 74 good eye on the 67 most don't know the difference, its a father son project (his car, daily driver) he's back home from college and were installing a 4link coil over rear suspension along with a Ford 9" CP rear end.

and yes the color is just right! I will check the calipers later today when home. Heres a pic of the steering wheel.

[manbridge 74]

Yeah, sort of a painful memory but I passed on a white 67 convertible with white interior as my first car because I considered it too much at $5500! It was a little dusty and owned by an old lady but what I knew at 17 could fill up a bucket...
