strange things and I don't know why they cant do it right!. Mine was just done this summer , and it has my interior as being Black Leather(not leatherette) , it was tan. also doesn't show all the options and the appearance group stuff even though its on the window sticker and I provided that to them for extra proof, and the build date they have as 09/1975 but as a '75 car that would be a '76, Car was sold end of sept. 1975 in Ohio, I doubt the got it from Germany to Ohio in 2 weeks, - Have not tried to get them to make the corrections.
Is this one you think they will correct , George? Could it be a late year 70 sold as a 71? More likely typo or sloppy work by PCNA's COA staff, cuz they f-up more COAs on all models - except the new cars where the VIN will give them the options list. You'll note that this COA shows that #11 is "black leatherette" - but I had to argue with PCNA-COA for over a year that my #32 was actually Biege - NOT black! That went on for 3 COA "corrections" - until I sent them a pdf copy of the color codes from one of Jeff Bowsby's 914 site's documents & going up the ladder to their GM of Customer Care! What BS! My VW COA for our `88 Westy was correct the 1st time for 1/2 the cost! .... & Porsche touts them as the last word on your Porsche's history - yeah right! ... my funny look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) it's the last word! It's only the last word because they'll argue to their graves that they are right & you are wrong! Vee are right! Vee are ALWAYS right! Zo you must be wrong! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Zat vas alzo zee case vit zee German project manager on their LA Experience Center, when I tried to put him in contact with SCS Engineers for the landfill issues, who had worked with me on the site next door. Vell, he vas not right & vas over a year late on completing the project because he insisted dat der vas no landvill under der site! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) He eventually got that sinking feeling!

Is this one you think they will correct , George? Yes Phil, they should & are obligated to do so. Try 1st asking them to correct the list of your items (use the Chassis No. on the Karmann Plate on the LF doorjamb & the build date translation & send a pic of the Karmann Plate), with a pdf/jbg copy of Jeff Bowlsby's 75 MY Interior choices - nONE of which are "Leather". If the 1st line person refuses, ask for the COA Dept. Mgr., if they refuse, then send an email to the PCNA GM of Customer Care, then call him if no reply in a reasonable time. The outcome of mine was that he finally corrected it to Beige Leatherette with Basketweave, but still no included App. & Perf. Groups options, because in 73 they were included in the base price. However, for yours it should show ALL options on your window sticker, since they're all extra price options from 74-76 MYs. It was the case of a lazy or ill informed COA person for yours - es[pecially since you sent in a copy of the window sticker. Geesh!! What a Half-fast organization of supposedly a premium maker!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) In my case the corrections were made & my full COA fee was refunded for their piss-poor half-fast service! ... except for the items in the "included in base price for the 1973 MY "914S" trim package. However, they still don't list any "included options" on any Porsche "specials" - as the GM explained to me - which is utterly stooopid, because that sets apart those special models features, which I told him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) He agreed, but said that the Germans always think that they know best! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) PM or email me later Phil, if you need more help. Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
