I’m looking at a 1976 912E and I can’t find a VIN decoder online that works with the older vintage cars.
Anyone have a way I can check a vin#
Thanks

Since the 912E was an entry level car so lowly powered, lowly optioned, lowly priced. Purple would have been a paint to sample special order option ($$$). Likely not an original color/paint example. Start poking in less likely places to spot the original color.

Most common colors were red, brown, silver, yellow, white and blue (per my experience). interiors were usually Tan (cork?), or black. As mentioned, VIN tells you model and build #. Options were not part of the vin. No underhood stickers either. Paint code on a tag in the door jam. 912E production was just 2099 examples.
