Do you know if you have a T, E or S? Engine type (number) will also help verify things. Sporto or manual, 5 sp or 4 sp???

What he means is that he wants to be able to tell a potential buyer that the engine and transmission that are installed in the car are the original ones installed when the car was built. Way back when, some cars actually had numbers stamped on the engine that matched numbers stamped on the chassis and that is where the term originated. Nowdays, it usually means the numbers match what was on the build sheet, or other documentation from the manufacturer. For a 911, obviously this is not the case, as you pointed out in your first post above.
