Hi all,
Last week a coworker sent me a photo of a 911 without a VIN. Its a factory built race car that the owner bought new around 1970 (i think) and put the car away, never really drove it i guess. To look at the photo you'd think it was a nut and bolt restoration, but its all original! So, did Porsche actually build cars without a VIN in situations like this? I can't help but think that they had to put some sort of numbers/ID on it. Did they build any 914s in this same manner? Steve  |

Thanks for the explanation Tom.
Never heard of "body in white". Interesting. |
