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!!

Awesome man. That is a really thorough explanation and makes perfect sense. Its all news to me.
Near as I can understand the 75-76 2.0s were essentially the same car. In two models 49-state and CA-models. Only difference being marketing materials, VIN numbers and trims. |

Only difference being marketing materials, VIN numbers and trims. yeah - when you look through the CARB archive there is no approval for 1976 MY porsche 914s. don't exist. wasn't applied for? or least i couldn't find it. i had to think about that again when you guys brought up this idea of californian and USA 76 models. basically as far as officialdom was concerned no such thing as a 1976 MY 914? they are all "1975"s. california and USA. like the 70&1/2 ford falcon. (which i might add is a pretty car, we kind of got an evolution of that falcon in our early 70s australian falcon - which went on to spit out the lovely "mad max" falcon hardtop GTs.)
