Any idea what the story is? Interesting color - would the bumpers have come painted that way from the factory? Looks like a repaint (?) but the VIN sticker and paint code tag don't appear to be masked. Targa trim is body color....

Paint looked original.

IIRC, bumpers were painted body color on non-appearance group cars before 1973 MY.

A classmate of mine had a '72 in that same color.

Maybe it’s Randy’s car that was looking for a shop around Mission Viejo but I recommended PCH garage. Just txted Randy and checking if that is his car.

I didn't notice a "Randy" on the shop work order; owner is from Long Beach and may have another 914...
