FS: First Generation Red Hood Badge

[mfitton]

SOLD! Excellent condition hood badge. This badge is a first generation red bar and has all the same markings as the orange badges and was starting to show up on cars mid-1973. So would be correct mid-73 to 78. Asking $175 delivered in the USA.

Here's a little tidbit on the first gen red bar badge

Porsche Hood Crests: "Red Bar" (Transitional) 1974 - 1976

Later in the 1974 model year, Porsche 911 hood badge styling was changed to the better-known version with the translucent red stripes. Except for the red enamel, the initial version of this badge is identical to the orange-bar badge it replaced. These "transitional" hood crests are found on late 1974 through early 1976 Porsche 911 models and would therefore be period correct for the 1974-1976 Porsche 914 models. Such badges are uncommon, but still do not rival prices commanded by the "orange bar" crests (although they fetch quite a bit more than subsequent Porsche badges). Again, the most reliable method of determining authenticity is through examination of the rear of the badge (dimpling, incorrect markings, etc.).
