Okay, I was looking around for Dave Pateman, gathering data on my /6. (I know my VIN from memory, but not the other numbers.)
I went to the door jamb to get the chassis number - huh? WFT? Did someone steal my chassis number? I got a color code, but no chassis number. Dave said look on the rear trunk floor. Where on the trunk floor? I don't see anything. Suggestions? -Rusty |

Anyway, just to run this chassis number issue into the ground...
Here's my certificate of authenticity. Again, no chassis number. It seems 914-6 chassis didn't use any chassis numbers, which is especially strange since Karman built the bodies. They were then transported to the Porsche factory, where the suspension and drivetrain were installed. I remember seeing pictures of the bodies being pushed around on dollies into Porsche's factory. You'd figure that Karman would need a chassis number outside of Porsche's numbering system to keep track of what they were producing since the cars were leaving their plant unfinished as opposed to the four cylinder cars, which in my understanding were finished there. Anyway, here's my certificate. Speaking of numbers, I figure my car was just a few numbers away from being a factory six. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Oh well. |
