I know this topic has been discussed before and that a lot of folks think that COA's are a waste of money but.....I'm still interested in ordering one. I'd like see if PCNA can get it correct first time. Would it be helpful if I sent in photos of the VIN #'s, build date / color code tags and a list of the options on the car with the COA form filled out? Does anyone have any advice and/or firsthand experience with this?

Question: So they won't tell you the original engine number, but will verify if you have the original? Or am I misunderstanding?

Question: So they won't tell you the original engine number, but will verify if you have the original? Or am I misunderstanding? I think sometimes they don't know the exact number, but they do know a small range that the number could be in. I know this kinda sucks, but it's the best they can do. Their bookkeeping was a bit shoddy back them, many number recordings were done on the fly often by the guy on the line. If he was being lazy that day, he may of filled in numbers at the end of the shift, in a batch, etc. This is long before barcodes and really they never gave it a thought that a 914 (or 911, VW beetle, bus, etc. ) would become a collectable car. |
