I have resisted getting personalized plates as Calif DMV fees just piss me off and they want even more money every year just to have these types of plates. Well never say never I did it. Here’s to me KMA.gif Californias Ass sad.gif sad.gif

Copied from a old post 2008.it was the wide body factory option.

There was an M471 option available for the 1974 914-4 2 liter cars. However it was not related in any way to the M471 option that was available for the 914-6 in 1971 and 1972. The factory produced approximately 23 914-6's with the M471 Competiton Option Group (15 in 1971 and 8 in 1972). The 15 produced in 1971 were originally intended to become racecars but most were eventually sold as GT look-a-likes for the street. Porsche considered the M471 optioned 914-6's produced in 1971 as factory GT's along with the 33 914-6 GT racecars that were produced in 1970 and 71. The fact that the factory was only able to document 48 factory produced cars (500 required to be homologated) in 1970 and 1971, eventually the SCCA disqualified them from the class they were competing in, resulting in the factory withdrawing their support

agree.gif I've never read such specific production numbers before.
Very interesting.
There is a car here in NJ (a '71 914 6) that has factory installed steel flares
and matching valences with no other performance modifications.

In Massachusetts, we only have 6 digit plates.
They also charge more For vanity plates than
Necessary..
If I have to explain what the plate means
to people, it isn’t worth the price to me..

CA, of course, screws you to get a "vanity plate" as they call it. It's $50 to get one and that includes the yellow/black plates. So $50 regardless of it being a personalized plate or not. Then $40 a year when you register to keep it. I guess they have to take from the working class to give to those who don't. beerchug.gif

I agree. I could live with the $50 for the vanity plate fee but not the extra $40 per year. I'll keep my original blue/yellow letter plates.
