There's a gold 914 currently listed for sale on BAT.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-porsche-914-13/ Question...on the COA under optional equipment it lists 'US Specifications w/Sun Test Special Paint'. What exactly does that mean....is it referring to the metallic paint? Attached thumbnail(s)

Jeff,
US Specification was usually for the 49 or 50 state emissions requirements, required sidemarkers F & R (adding F "Warts" - because R were integral to the taillights on all models Worldwide IIRC), & anything else US-DOT required for that MY. Some MY's also had the CA Spec. for the more stringent smog controls here. As for the "... w/Sun Test Special Paint" part - IMHO the COA person either misread the Porsche Code or used the wrong MY &/or P-car model's option code - as they do all too often! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Look at other COAs & Window Stickers at Jeff Bowlsby's website to see if you can find what the correct info should be instead of that "... w/Sun Test Special Paint" BS.

The gold would be a special option paint. It should not be linked with the US equipment.
I have never heard of "Sun Test" paint before, and I have been checking paint codes for 40 years. |
