Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me where I can get a certificate from Porsche showing all the particulars about my car? I decided to sell one of my 914s and I like to have a certificate showing it is a numbers matching car. Thanks, Bill. |

I have purchased several "Birth Certificates" as the VW world calls them for some cars.
You provided the serial and case# and VW said yes or now as to the engine being original. No information is given away to allow for misdemeanors to occur. |

I got a COA for my 914 shortly before they ended them and that's how it worked for me. They verified my matching numbers case but no info for the trans. They also failed to note the optional "Sport" package my car was equipped with. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) The reality is that 1973 was a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Quality control what not what it is today, computerized record keeping didn't exist, and dope smoking was rampant! Not surprised that even Porsche's records are only semi-reliable at best. I'm glad you had some luck with them! OT -- your car is coming along nicely! Keep up the great work! |

I have a photo of such a page of 60 cars that I think were 1972 911T by Karmann. Over the last 4 decades I have developed a relationship with a few friends that have the access I need to such information. |
