Hey gang, just ordered a COA for Das Frog. Seen in some other posts that these can be rather inaccurate and incomplete. Just got a phone message from the women whom is working on it, saying they are checking into a "490" option code. Electric antenna? Car was purchased with no radio. Would the dealership take that out if the client didn't want a radio and install a standard antenna? What else should I ask for on the COA when I call her back? Trans #, Engine #, ? And, is there a way to distinguish which alloy wheels came with the car; fuchs or mahle? John (orginal owner), had them swapped out for steelies.
Thanks, Tod |

Just got off the phone with Kristina. Based on the information she has from their database, enigine number checked out, no record of the trans number but she is going to add it on, correct paint code Ravenna green M5 with brown leatherette, rear defrost, USA equiptment, chrome bumpers, forged wheels code 485, and the 490 code which she is having Germany checking into. No mention of the center console, center seat, of fog lights on the Kardex. Would that of come packaged with the chrome bumpers? Regarding the electric antenna, the car has a non electric Hirshman on it that's been Zeibarted by the dealership prior to delivery. Thanks for the help guys. I think the 490 gets them confused when their Database changed & they mixed 944 & 914 Numbers up. Pretty sure 490 relates to the Center Cushion. And the car would not have been Ziebarted |

I think the 490 gets them confused when their Database changed & they mixed 944 & 914 Numbers up. Pretty sure 490 relates to the Center Cushion. M490 is the mechanic antenna see the 1974 price list (from Germany) translation: antenna mechanic on the left side with suppressor kit 128 DM (German Mark) - for the 1.8 as well as the 2.0 not available for all radios and as the text above says: "all radios include the suppressor kit, speakers and mechanic antenna on the left side" so it's definitely clear, that you could order the antenna kit M490 without ordering a factory radio (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
