Hi Brad,

Here is a curious question. Your ad states the VIN as: 4742913488. The door jamb sticker clearly states the VIN to be: 4742931488 (01-74). A build date of 1/74 is closer to the listed VIN of 4742913488, not the door jamb sticker showing 4742931488. Did Porsche transpose a few numbers in the door jamb sticker?

I just looked on P914.com and the last 74 VIN was 4742921370. That makes this car a real anomaly.

Wondering if anyone answered the transposition question? I have two numbers in position 7,8 that are transposed on the door sticker. Given my 2.0 is all original, I've always assumed it was a byproduct of the 70's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)
