I know there was a thread about this but I can't find it. . . anyone remember how to decode the Karman body number thats stamped in the trunk floor by the lock ?? Mine is 131657. . it was something about the first 3 digits are the month and day ??
Also I think I remember reading about another number stamped under the dash. . . Am I making that up, because I don't have one there . . Thanks for any help Dave |

Yes it's a 70 914-6 the porsche number is 9140431617 heres a shot of the Karman number [131657] and it's located in the center of the trunk floor. I remember reading a post about decodeg it and it had something to do with the month and day the body was made, but I can't find that post again. .
Interestingly, my transmission serial number is 7501656. . seems like there is a pattern. . Attached image(s)

QUOTE(toolguy @ Jun 2 2011, 10:14 PM)  I remember reading a post about decoding it and it had something to do with the month and day the body was made, but I can't find that post again. I think that post was made by "davep" (Dave Pateman), if i recall correctly he said he had found some sort of decoding for the /6 chassis number. The table i posted above is only for the /4 cars ...
