OK - I know the C of A is far from accurate everytime but mine looks good right to the "Optional Equipment" entry.

Equipment for Norway

Does anyone know what this is supposed to mean?

Snowshoes

Hey T.C.

Could be - if this car is the rare "Norway Special" I am selling it to Rick Ollah - I think it is still snowing at his house!

Goofy C of A's....

There is special equipment required for Norway cars. Don't recall exactly what it is but I've read it here on this board... Like headlight washers I think... (among other things)

Posted by: SirAndy May 3 2011, 01:42 PM

Not odd at all ...

Norwegian and Swedish equipment are pretty commonly listed on the CoA.

So far, i don't think anyone has been able to completely identify what those options actually include.

Thanks Andy - I must be Search Engine Impaired - among other things.....

Good reading - I should have known!

Posted by: Eric_Shea May 3 2011, 02:03 PM

Pat has that on his car as well...

Mudflaps.

Posted by: rick 918-S May 3 2011, 02:08 PM

Cool! How about a ski rack?

Posted by: Kansas 914 May 3 2011, 02:29 PM

I did see after reading the links Andy provided that Pat and I have the same Optional Equipment:

Equipment for Norway
Center Seat Cushion

My car is an ealy '72 andhas has seat postions listed as 2 + 1 (but no center seat belt).

Posted by: Pat Garvey May 3 2011, 06:53 PM

Yes we do! Exactly! Don't yet know why it should have special meaning though.

Regardless of what Eric says, I do not have factory mudflaps! Also do not have rear fog indicators. Not on my COA, but if the mud flaps were.........

Do you have a flat surface on top of your heat exchangers where you could warm up some lefse and lutefisk?

Posted by: scotty b May 4 2011, 05:47 AM

Front trunk Hagen Daaz holder

Posted by: Haudiosolutions May 4 2011, 06:21 AM

I DO!!.... seems a bit oily but maybe that's intended to keep the lutefisk from sticking. Sort of a self Pam'ing heat exchanger.

windshield ice scrapper;
ice saw;
three cans of whale blubber, with a long hollowed out piece of wood and wick;

Hell any oil would just make it taste better.

Being mostly Norwegian, I'd love it if my car was Norwegian equipped.

Posted by: Kansas 914 May 4 2011, 08:43 AM

If you buy a C of A you might find out that the Optional Equipment does indeed list "Equipment for Norway" - even if we don't know what that means......

Posted by: carr914 May 4 2011, 08:51 AM

In Europe, Porsche does not call them Certificates of Authenticity, but something like Adoption Certification

Does anyone have a swtich for the rear window defrost ? I have junked 2 cars with defrost but neither had a switch in them

Posted by: Kansas 914 May 4 2011, 09:01 AM

Hey Scotty,

I will look (but it will take time) as I parted out a 74 that had the heated rear glass (all torn up) and I'm sure I saved all the switches from the car. It is yours if I find it.
