1976 Is it a 49 state or Cali car? Options

[gnomefabtech]

Car came from Nevada but I can't tell if it was originally a California car. It still has injection but doesn't have a cat or smog pump. Doesn't look like it ever had either but I'm wondering since I'm going to try and register it here in California. Thanks in advance!!

Here is the Vin:

ah, i just figured out how porsche got away with not having cats on MY76 49 state cars.
they ceased production at the end of 1975 calendar year.
end of calendar year 75 was the final deadline - after that all cars sold USA wide had to be fitted with cats.
most car makers that intended to market a car for the full 76 MY installed cats.
porsche knew they were finishing this baby off.
they ran that to the wire! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
