Poking around my 75, I can't seem to feel any filler in the back of the sail panels as if it had targa vinyl that was filled in.....
It's an original Anacona blue metallic car, and it appears to have all the original drivetrain in it.... Did some come with no targa vinyl from the factory? |

If the rear roll bar is painted black (black anodized) rather than chrome (silver anodized) then the car could have been delivered with the roll bar vinyl delete. Silver anodized means that the car had side vinyl at one time. Is the top of the targa bar painted? It would be shiny and the color of the car.
I would say that if the owner repainted the car and removed the side markers, that he removed the side vinyl as well |

I will look for the chassis number and jack the car up in my garage and feel around for filler in the holes Last time I was under there I did not see any filler along the sails and I was peeling off factory undercoating with my hands. Heading over now to unload a GTi full of boxes and I will scope this out. I am curious and have been neglecting this for a bit. dr914: none of the original roll bar/sail trim came with the vehicle. The PO repainted it ancona without what I think was some lead additive maybe from hearing the discussions here? It is a little darker and more purple than the original ancona I am finding which is perfect under the undercoating. |
