Who is an original owner?, What did the window sticker say and do you still have it? Options

Any original owners out there? Do you still have the window sticker?

I'm curious as to what they sold for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Weren't the window stickers printed up in the US under some DOT or other Federal Law? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) If so, then the factory would never have had anything to copy.

I just asked Porsche Cars of No. America last week while they're doing my COA, and they said: "No, that's why we offer a $10 discount on the COA if you send in a copy of yours...." So unless a prior owner submitted their window sticker for a particular car, then they might be able to send you a copy if you asked real nice!?

A word of warning about Porsche's records - they're not always that correct, by their own admission! Earlier this week they tried to tell me that their records show that my 73 914-2L VIN-4732901954 was allegedly first sold in Connecticut in Sept. 73, while my Calif. DMV registration card shows the first sold/registered date a year earlier on 11/9/72, and it was a 9/72 build date! I suggested that someone probably mis-keyed a 74 MY perhaps ending in ...01954 as a 473 in error, and supplied a copy of my CA DMV card from 12/26/75 which also shows the 11/9/72 first sold date. Hopefully they'll correct their data files!?

You might try your state of original sale's DMV/BMV to see if they'll research their microfilm records for prior owners, then try to run them down to see if they saved it in an old file box somewhere...ya never know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I just found out that CA will do it for $20 per year researched (see DMV website under "information request"), so I'm hoping they'll turn up something. And looking thru your own old records might turn up some leads. I have to dig out my old 1975/76 records when I bought my 73 2L used in 12/26/75 to see if I have anything saved from the seller, whom I think wast the original owner - but then at 56.5, I've got "half-zymers"!!!

It cracks me up the way these marketing geniuses listed a bunch of "N.C." standard equipment as psuedo-options on these stickers! ...I mean really - fuel injection, gas tank with cap, full set of 3 control pedals.........!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

And then apparently no 2 of them were consistent on what was or wasn't listed for any particular year/model, from what I've seen here & on the PCA-914-SIG-List stickers! I think that they just wanted to make it harder for "us in their future" to figure out how these car really came equipped! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
