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!!

There must be some other CA law here that overlaps the 75-76 model years. In CA, 75 914s are exempt from bi-annual smog testing, but 76 model year cars are not exempt. This requirement is not exclusive to 914s.
Considering the effects in hindsight at this point in time, P should not have marketed the 76 cars. We’d be better off if they had just extended the production as 75 model year cars but maybe there were other laws that prevented that. No 76 model year 914s were sold to Europe. |
