Can anybody help me locate a Porsche dealer by the dealer selling code? I'm trying to research the selling dealer of my 914. The dealer code is "422 B02". from 1974. Thanks

Afraid I'm no help either. Got my '72 from Classic P/A in Cincinnati, dealer 403-A08. My delivery doc's only show the distributors ('72). My original dealer changed to Moser P/A in the mid-70's & became Beechmont P/A thereafter ( & today). So, the 403 code must have applied to southern Ohio & Kentucky (probably Indiana too).

I know this doesn't help you, but it's history. If you need a distributor of the period, I have them - but no codes.

Did some additional digging & came up with this:
My original dealer (Classic P/A - Cincinnati) was code 403-A05 - this was 1972
Classic P/A was sold in '73 & became Cronin's P/A, code 403-A17
Cronin's P/A was sold in '76 & became Moser P/A, code 403-A18
Dealer codes disappeared from service invoices in 1977 (mine, at least)

Now, this should really muddy things up. In 1988 I bought an Audi that had been originally delivered to a dealer in Dublin, Ohio - code 403-A05!

I suspect the first 3 characters applied to either a zone or distributor (same distributor for Ohio & Kentucky at least until the mid-70's - may not have ever changed as far as I know). The distributor for Ohio/Ky during that period was in Dublin, Ohio (MIDVO).

So, I'm just as confused as when I started digging - how can I have the same dealer number in 1972 and 1988, when 2 different dealers were involved? Was there a re-alignment somewhere during the years? Does it even matter?
