Default 914 sighting

On several occasions I have come across in my parking garage, in the District:

A 1970-72(? - pre bumperettes) 914
Tangerine or maybe Signal orange in color
5 lug conversion
Appearance Group
"sunroof" in the targa top
PCA sticker

Any one know who this is?

What is "sunroof in the targa top", is that a Saratoga style top or something else?

I have a " moon roof" in one of my 914/6 taga Tops, does not open, tinted glass, makes it feel a lot more spacious.

It's what Dirk said, although this one looks like it pops up/out. When I think Saratoga top I think of a one piece replacement top that is translucent.

When I think Saratoga top I think gaudy vinyl roof on large Lincoln or Caddy driven by short sighted senior with blue hair or a natty hat.

Saratoga top is named for the semi-covered carriage of the same name.
