@JeffBowlsby
Honestly, I've very torn (and passonate) on this subject. I'd love to know how my car was built. But given the cost and the rampant errors, I just can't justify giving money to them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Based on your website, personally, I think you have done a better job of documenting (all for free) these cars, service tools, dealers, etc., than I've ever seen Porsche show any interest in. Thank you for your site, the NLA harness you make, and all the work that went into your site and documenting these cars. |

Aw shucks....thanks for the kudos...its all for fun.
I think were are in a period in the hobby and of the cars life where having/knowing the original engines and trans seems to be so essential. But down the road in the not too distant future that wont be so important. The cars age and drivetrains wear out. It wont be too long when we'll just consider ourselves fortunate that a 914 will be viable and driveable and not parted or in a museum. Life is too short to take these minutia too seriously.

I thought my COA was overpriced for what I got but I'm glad I got it. I would have liked to see more detail about how my car was equipped, but it gave me the most important information I was looking for.
I really don't care if my engine is matching numbers, but it I ever sell the car, I may be very happy I have a COA that confirms that it is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

My certificate, came with the car when I bought her from the P+A dealer in 1974 ; really nothing much of matching Anythings on the car today . I don't know if Porsche's Authenticity evaluator would know the workings of the horizontal fan installed/ nor the applicable option code for it . The carpeting and basket weave dash material are all original though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Dec 19 2019, 01:47 PM)  QUOTE(euro911 @ Dec 19 2019, 03:17 PM) So, the 'old style' COAs are or aren't available any more? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Sarcasm alert. your SWB 911 is now worthless without a COA. However, I'll take it off your hands for $10K under the supposition that it probably isn't authentic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)I got one for my '66 912 a couple years ago from Porsche ... still need to get one for my SWB 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |
