			Karmann built the body. a regular practice in those days. not particularly special. 
		
	
		
	
			
			
				
					a T is not so special either. but bringing a 71T back to life is special if its matching numbered engine and chassis. any longhood (particularly with matching numbers) brought back to original spec is a golden nugget for the soul and a great loooong term investment. IMHO does the red book cross-ref the engine and chassis nrs on your car? to answer your question: as opposed to 356's, chassis manufacturer on longhood 911s is less of an issue and not a huge pot of gold just because it's a karmann built unit alone.
