VIN Page Options

[robkammer]

Hello all: I'm new to the 914 world and am hoping to add a 2.0 to our garage soon. I have seen references to a VIN page in the forums but can't find it on the site.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

So after a couple of cocktails one eve I send off a ill tempered email to the VP of "aftersales" not really expecting anything of it but just an opportunity to vent & provide a opinion on their "Classic" marketing strategy ...some time later I get this response:

Good Afternoon
I hope you are doing well. Thank you for your patience as I gathered information from our Porsche Classic Vehicle Information Specialist. Please see below:

I have verified that we produced a PPS for your noted VIN mid-February. I have reviewed the original build documentation and confirmed the PPS provided is accurate.

The transmission was not recorded at the time of production therefore we cannot list the transmission type on the PPS and indicated information not available.
The MSRP is not recorded (for any vehicle until the late 1990’s-early 2000’s) therefore the MSRP is listed as information not available.
As the PPS is an official record, we do not use external sources or other window stickers for verification of the MSRP. If the information is not recorded at the time of production, it is not included in the Porsche Production Specification. If the customer has the original window sticker for his vehicle indicating the MSRP, he may submit those documents for review to vehicledocumentation@porsche.us to determine if the PPS can be updated to indicate the MSRP.
The vehicle is equipped with option 570 which is “Seat Cushions” per Porsche Germany. This option refers to a change in standard seat cushions (such as comfort equipment).

We cannot provide vehicle information via email for security reasons.

We cannot confirm/deny or provide the engine/transmission numbers.

We do not release the engine/transmission information any longer for the security of owners due to the value of classic vehicles. This is for your security and the security of future buyers, we do not wish to provide information that may lead to any misrepresentation of a vehicle in the future.
We now offer the Classic Technical Certificate (CTC). The CTC includes a 63 point inspection by a Porsche Classic Partner. Beyond the technical inspection, the certificate also includes photos of the vehicle (including the engine/transmission numbers) and original production information (included on the PPS). Based on photos of the engine and transmission in the vehicle, which we obtain from the Porsche Classic Partner, we are able to provide a verification on the CTC if the engine/transmission in the vehicle match our records or if there is no Porsche record (such as the transmission numbers for the 914’s)

Our site does indicate that the engine and transmission serial numbers are not included and information will be included on the PPS when available. This detail is indicated before the process of starting the PPS.

In the spirit of goodwill and appreciation of your loyalty to the Porsche brand, I would like to provide you with a complimentary PPS. If you would like to receive the PPS, could you please verify your mailing in your reply & acknowledgement.

Thank you for contacting Porsche Cars North America and for the opportunity to assist in this matter.

Kind Regards,
