You could try contacting member DUG who seems to be knowledgable about 914/6 engine numbers and VIN numbers. If you have a VIN, Dave Pateman can probably get you the engine and maybe transmission number and a lot of other useful info. |

A COA (or PPS now) is your only source for 100% certainty.

Was not that long ago when the COAs were $110 and everybody griped about that - somewhat justifiably. Now at 5x that cost...those old COAs can be valuable to those that care.

I provide the option of an independent Report similar to the CoA and similar in price. For some 914/6 I can actually provide the Production order document image, but at a higher price.
