They were available as options on 1970 and 1971 911E and 911S and all 1972 and 1973 models except the Carrera 2.7." ...and here's an example:

They are unavailable new to my knowledge.. don't know of anyone doing reproductions either. They are also difficullt to find in decent used condition.
I remember the old days, that was one of the main pieces of trim that folks wanted to get rid of. It almost never made it back onto a car after a respray! I would try posting your question over on the early S Registry, someone may know of repros.

Thanks, onboost. I went ahead and posted on the Early S Reg board. IMHO, the moldings are a nice touch to help continue the swooping lines of the car; esp. if you have the chrome strips on the end of the bumpers and the S rocker molding.
