I believe that Golde also made fabric sunroofs. I do not believe that they were used on 1973 Avantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recaro's would definitely be one.....but were they an Avanti factory option in 1973? There's one (actually two!)..German made items yet to be mentioned folks....and these items were used in Avantis back to '63! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwundt Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Some power window motors were made by Bosch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwundt Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 "Original motors have four wires coming out of their cases, and carry the 1960 Ford/Lincoln part number C0LF-14553-A, or Bosch M 05810." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Recaro seats didn't show on the option sheet until about 1980. They may have been available prior to that but not on printed option sheets updated every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
