Interesting 1974 Options

[nick-moss]

I was looking through an original 1974 911 brochure and found some options that I've never seen on a car.

1. Coloured cookie cutters in Gazelle, Steel Blue and Ice Green:



2. Front bonnet SAFETY (!) flashes:

Ive never seen the colored wheels, I have seen a few (very) 911's with the stripes on the hood

I have a friend with a 74 US Carrera in gulf blue that came with the safety stripes on the front hood. For some reason when he had the car repainted.... the stripes never reappeared???? The cookie cutters in ice green are way cool!

Hmmm... Thinking about dressing up kermie a bit?

This is funny. A while back i had the cookie cutters on my 1974 painted silver cuz what looked like a blue coloring was underneath and I thought it was some primer or contamination. Turns out now it could be original coloring.....if that dont beat all.....

I think PAR or someone had some individual brand new NOS cookies like that on ebay last fall.

Does anyone know where stripes like that can be found?

What's a good 70s TV description for stripes like that?

1) Boss!
2) Rad!
3) Stylin'!
4) Dy-no-mite!

Or for those of contrary feeling: "You big dummy!"

Help me decide. I want to get the lingo down before getting the stripes down, baby.

The word you look for is:

PORN!

I think they're sorta "post-groovy". I like the black with the orange.

Hilarious!

Groovy, I think.

I don't know if you can still get the original ones, but your local vinyl signwriter should be able to make them up easily enough, then you could sell them on!

I'd like opinions on this?

Like it?

Hate it?

I actually do like it. Not something you see everyday, and clearly a "retro" cool factor of 10 imo. What color is your car?

I think they drove the car before the paint dried. Look at how the 911 ran all the way up the hood.

Glad you lke it, because i want to do that on the alumnum hod on my orange Carrera. I dont know yet if I want the semi-gloss or std black, though.

I believe the proper term is "FAR OUT, man"

A pale/butter yellow. I don't know the exact color name.
