Determing build date from VIN no.???

[obrut]

How would you determine a build date from a VIN no.?

From memory, the Porsche model years run from around Sep to Aug. Thus, a 1973 "Model" car could have actually been built/delivered in late 72.

Anyone have this information? It is relevant for classing a race car based on "year of manufacture"

another thing i was wondering as well, i have heard of people researching their car on "the net" to find out where their porsche was originally delivered to and general info about the car. anyone know how you can do this?

mine is a 73 built in 72
0110

you can do some guestimating based on the last 4 digits

but if you really want to know , ask Porsche about your Vin

If you have a plate on the latch post of the driver's door, you might find a build date there.
