Hello, I'm a newbie. I just pulled my '73 1.7 from 30 years' storage. I bought the car in 1980 had little info about it's past. Anyway, I'm looking at orange rear shocks with a large rubber bushing at the spring base. The front struts have a protective glop on them (like much of the undercarriage) that prevents a color ID. The top nut appears to be orange, though. Any ideas? Thanks. Rich

Hard to tell from the description. Can you post some pics?

Grey Boge shocks were stock. Aftermarket Boge shocks were black. Your orange ones are Boge TS gas shocks. They were the hot upgrade.

mulhollands were orange. I guess they are also known as boge mulholland? I put them on my teener in the late 70s. Lasted forever. Very stiff ride.

I agree, smells like Mulhollands. Never heard they were Boge's in disguise before

I had a set on two cars that I purchased. They were pretty dead by the time I got them.

My car was 10 when I got it. It had some old looking orange colored shocks. But they were Koni's. Not sure if that was a factory add on or if the original owner had put them on.

Here is an Boge orange 911 rear. Also you can go to Asse Porsche and see a 914 rear set.
