How does one match the engine, trans and chassis numbers. I have read several times that the COA's are not accurate, so how can we tell. I can see how one could narrow the numbers down to production years, but is there a way to decipher the VIN or other numbers and determine what the engine, trans numbers should be?
Thanks -Peter |

As Andy said.
However, the COA, to my knowledge, has never disclosed the transmission number on the certificate for any 914. The best you can ascertain is to match the model year with the engine number. (i.e. a 1.8 shouldn't be in a 1970) I have COA's for all my Porsches and the VIN/engine numbers match. Don |

Don As in the ending sentence above - it's actually matching the VIN to the engine case number (&/or equivalent auto ID number in non-USA cars), with the model year implicit from the VIN's 3rd digit ( 0 = 1970, 1 - 1971, etc. for 47_ ..... ). Just to clarify, cuz I had to scratch my head on what Don was saying ..... but then I'm old & getting senile! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
