Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me where I can get a certificate from Porsche showing all the particulars about my car? I decided to sell one of my 914s and I like to have a certificate showing it is a numbers matching car. Thanks, Bill. |

It does appear that the "classic technical certificate" report, for $500, does go to the effort of indicating if the engine and trans are original to your car. But, you have to take it to one of the 12 or so certified locations in the US.

The 500 dollar inspection DOES verify original matching numbers, but the people who are doing it at the Porsche Classic centers were not even a gleam in their Dad's eye when most of these cars were made. Hence there are unknowledgeable people examining your car who know virtually nothing about it.
Number re stamp to fake a numbers matching car is a down and dirty low life way to make a profit and those who do it should be banished from the Porsche community (or any community for that matter. THAT is why Porsche had to clamp down: To try to eliminate counterfeiters, they made it bad for everyone with true intent. (just like the terrorists making all of us have to now go through long lines at the airport. I have had several long discussions with Porsche here in Atlanta about allowing this type of information out to legitimate entities, and they still refused. Their new certificate of authenticity is virtually worthless and expensive for what you get and gives us all the further impression that Porsche could care less about the old cars It does appear that the "classic technical certificate" report, for $500, does go to the effort of indicating if the engine and trans are original to your car.
