option code 740
Does anyone know anything about option code #740-Show Finish? Is this some kind of special paint process. I saw the option listed on a dealer site for a $139,000 C4S cabriolet.

740 is not a standard PAG public option code.
This car was a display unit in one of the Auto Shows
Generaly they are more highly optioned showcasing Exclusive Options
One difference is that the license plate holder in the front is painted in Body color
The other code that pops up is on a pre-configured launch cars:Option 762 - PAG Code - Launch code

Similar story would be for 741.
Finish has nothing really to do with the Paint but how the cars are configured...For show, for Press..
A pre-defined option list configured by PAG

Thanks MJones,
The car was highly optioned with lots of red trim. Red exterior, black full leather. I would love to see a picture of that one. The Speed Yellow above is gorgeous. Is that a C4S?

Just a pre-defined option list configured by PAG, that is why most cars seen in the press are of similar color / configuration.

740, 741, 762
They are just PAG predefined option codes for various purposes.
Guess you could say that code is "No Charge" but the options included are

maybe but don't expect to see any additional value because it's a show car until you auction it in 40 years....
often it means stuff has been stolen off the car, like *****, gear shifters, etc....
