Cookie cutters on an early car?

[pookie]

I'm trying to help a buddy id a car. I know its an early car, but it has cookie cutters on it. Were cookie cutters ever an option or standard on an early car? I'm guessing the car is a 72 or 73 but I haven't gotten a look at it yet, I'm just guessing. Anyways it was a question I didn't know the answer too, so I figured I would ask the experts.

Thanks in advance

I might very well be wrong, but I thing the Cookie Cutters were introduced for the 1974 model.

I believe cookie cutters came out sometime in the 1972 model year as a cheaper, distinctive alternative to the forged Fuchs. (Trying to give the E it's own identity) They were standard eqipment on 73 911E's.

They were also std equipment on the 1974 US model 911S.

from 911/912 restores guide to authenticity:
cookies started in 73, standard on E's, optional on T's

1974 911 base: steel wheels still standard? More purchase ?s

By the way, the cookie cutters may not help you identify the year of the car. 15x6 cookie cutters will fit on any '69-'73 911. The easiest way to determine if the car is actually a '73 is the large black rubber bumper guards on front and rear. If the car is a '72, it will have the chrome and rubber bumper guards but the oil filler flap on the passenger side near the rear wheel. If the car is a '70-71, it will have the 2.2 badge on the engine grille. Blah...blah...blah...

i don't think you'll find much 73's that still have the fugly bumper guards on...mine sure didn't , haven't seen any recent pics of 73's that did... old historical pics , sure , not new ones

Sorry but the '73 cars I see in So Cal tend to have the big rubber bumper guards still in place. Like the '73 911S I saw yesterday. Those beautiful early 911 lines RUINED by those giant honkin' bumper guards.

Make that a 2.2 sticker in the rear window. 2.4's and some 2.7's had badges but not the 2.2.

But yes, they could be original on a '73 or possibly added later.

I know my car (1973.5) came with Cookies and they look ok to me.

Cookie cutters did come out for the 73MY cars but just get his VIN and then we can tell you diffenently what year his car is.
