$500.00 is a bit steep for a DB search and hitting print

The "Cheaper" route nowadays is the Porsche Production Specifications (PPS). It's not very detailed, and I think it costs about $200. If you want more detailed information, you can get the Porsche Classic Technical Certificate, but you have to take your 914 to one of a handful of Classic Porsche Dealerships and have their mechanics inspect it. I think this process costs about $500. Here's a link to the second option and what you actually get:

That doesn't sound like it's a verification of what was installed during manufacturing (which would be verified through manufacturing records). It sounds like dealerships visuallly verifying what's actually installed on the car.

If I'm correct, then someone could get a "Certificate" of a VIN compilation that didn't actually exist.

A lot of people don't understand that Porsche 914s were high-volume, lower-priced, mass-produced automobiles and were never expected to reach collector status. They were just squirted out like Hershey bars to make the companies some money and keep workers working.

I suggest expecting concourse-level documentation is expecting a bit much... - GA
