It certainly doesn't look like that is an original engine for the VIN. Is the Type# 911/07? That was a 1970 911T w/Sporto for the USA in the range of serial #6105001-6107999, according to Stoddard's chart. Getting the Kardex data for the car will clear it up, but I would guess the engine was swapped out at some point, which is not unusual. The PO either did not know, or did not care, or misrepresented the facts. An owner will usually buy a COA to document its originality if that's important in a sale. If the "car has been hacked a hundred different ways" you weren't buying it for originality and probably didn't pay the premium for that, so if it drives good, enjoy it!
