Thank you for helping me work through it. I think i got it. Starting with Wikipedia, the Title VIN and number plate under the front windshield. If your stamped in vin numbers on the right front top fender well and your rear trunk floor just behind your right rear tail light housing are matching your driver door sticker VIN your golden. Now you just need to make sure your engine numbers match the year specified on samba's engine code list. Then your transmission numbers need to match to the year specified by the list provided by Blue sky motorsports chart for the year of the vehicles vin. All of this can be fabricated into any car by a good HACK ! This would qualify as ( Matching Numbers ) I think so ? Thoughts please.

For Porsches, number matching includes:
Chassis number Transmission number Engine number VIN number They all work together. The factory kept records of these items and wrote them down. The COA (there is a newer product/term for that now from Porsche) links all those together, along with Exterior and Interior color, wheel style, options on the car (radio, Alloy wheels, "US Equipment" etc). The VIN stamp is in several places too.. So if a car has had its front clip replaced due to an accident, you can likely see two vins or a poor job of someone hacking up the plates. So.. when you have the underlying build document and you compare it to the car, you can know how "factory original" the vehicle is. |
