VIN Plate Numbers?
Looking at my VIN plate and was trying to figure out the designations.
 What does the "H" in the box by itself mean and the S66 in the right hand box mean (color code?) Thanx, Duke

The car also had a VIN plate on the driver side a post, does that mean it was an import?

Duke, this S 66 is the German aproval number for the heating system.
It has nothing to do with colour. The number and name of the colour is on the drivers side a-post ("Kunstharzlack" and number) The two plates are on every Porsche of these years, as far as I know, at least on my two US-Reimports. Sebastian

I was just researching some of the sites around and found that H was 1975, the vin number itself also has a 5 in the fourth spot. So I take it I have a 1975 not 76, was this true in all cases? the vin also has a 1 in the fifth spot so does it mean it is a German version or what?

This VIN is from an 'H' series 911 which is a '75 model year. The blocked out VIN should read 9115XXXXXX and engine serial # should be 6X5XXXX. This plate with the VIN stamped on it and mounted on the driver's side 'A' pillar would mean it was US (maybe Canada) import.

Yes a 5 in the forth spot is for a car made from August '74 to July '75. The 1 in the sixth spot is for a Targa. If it was a 0 then that would indicate a coupe. A 1 in the fifth spot is for a ROW 911.

Thanx Brian, I was hoping you would chime in. I guess I've been mis-representing my car. (maybe I shoulda checked before hand) Doesn't really matter but does clear up some brake and suspension issues. Have a great holiday.
