What is in a COA?
Interior color? Options? I get exterior color and engine… $500.00 is a bit steep for a DB search and hitting print |

I had purchased a COA for a 356 project I did to validate matching engine and trans numbers. The COA I bought was back in 2016 I think? There wasn't very much information on it including the trans SN. Luckily the PO had a COA from the late 90's. It had WAY more detail on it including the trans SN.
Others have said it already, think Porsche stopped including so much detail for some reason. maybe lost info? Maybe some info was incorrect? |

I believe part of the reason, or at least what Porsche said it was, they stopped putting engine and trans #'s on the COA's, was that folks were using them to fabricate matching numbers on cars when they weren't. Lots of threads on re stamped engine #'s on the 356 registry forum. |

Lots of threads on re stamped engine #'s on the 356 registry forum. yep, thats the story i hear down here from folks in 356 registry. faking up matching number cars thanks to porsche being helpful about original build documentation. crooks ruin it for everyone. its entirely possible that porsche might be doing these "technical inspections" to not just advise you on how they can sell you some parts or do a classic service tune up or other work on your car, they might also be carefully keeping tabs on engine numbers and gearbox numbers etc floating around out there, themselves. its like doing a real world audit? they are going to turn up "double identities" if they begin to build a data base. |
