Like many, I picked up my 914 from West Coast, and it had seen it's share of customizing (bastardizing), but who really knows how it was first brought into this world?
I cannot even determine color from door jam plate. Is there some data base for the FOUR CYLINDERS??? I love my car but very curious. help? thanks |

a CoA will tell you some things, but not all.
It will tell you; Year Color Interior Engine # Options That's about it & a lot of times the options are incorrect they used to tell you the Importer, sometimes the Dealer, but with Privacy Laws, they no longer do Back in the Day, you could go to your DMV and do an Owner Search, but I know of no DMVs that still allow this. |
