Changed out my dash today to the correct early version on my 914-6. Saw the hand written black marker number under the dash and it does not match my rear trunk number. Under dash number is 130xxx rear trunk is 132xxx does this seem right?

All 4 of my dashes that I have in storage have a similar number in marker.

Under the dash pad on the 911 Porsche (eventually) changed these numbers to a "production number" and they never matched the chassis.
The only way to find out whether these "numbers match" is to contact the factory. If they do match they'll say so but if they don't you will not get the correct number from them. The upside of this is that re-bodied cars can be rooted out. Here is a thread from the Early S Registry regarding this: http://www.early911sregistry.org/forums/sh...umber-Locations |

Mike - My understanding is the number handwritten under the dash, should be the chassis number stamped into the center back panel of the car trunk. Does it appear the rear trunk panel was ever replaced?

Mike, The number in your trunk is the Karmann serial number; generally the Karmann number is also written under the dash. It is not uncommon for the dash and trunk to not match. The example below is for Karmann # 131846 I believe they added a "0" for 1970 under the dash.  |
