[HELP] Who could help me to confirm if my 911 2.4T is matching numbers ?

[Lionel]

Hi !

I'm going to buy a 911 2.4T 1972 coupé, sold in USA, and I would want to know if it's matching numbers.

Porsche France told me they need 2 or 3 weeks to search the answer, because this VIN is not in their data

But maybe someone can ask Porsche USA for me ?

Tanks a lot !!!

Consider yourself lucky that you can even get this information for free from your dealer at all. Porsche USA dealers will refer you to a 800 number and require you to pay over $100 for a "Certificate of Authenticity" which may or may not be accurate.

In France, if you want the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, you have either to pay (160€ ... 220$ ! )
but you can call Porsche France, and ask if the VIN matches the engine number, and they say yes, or no, and it's free

in my case, the delay for the answer is about 2 or 3 weeks, because the car doesn't come from France, but from US, so they have to request Porsche Germany datas ... and it takes more time

so, I tought that maybe, somebody in the US could help me, because the car comes from here

Looks like someone forgot to log out of their fake ID before posting.

I called the 800 number (the phone # listed on porscheusa.com to obtain Certificate of Authenticity) about a year ago regarding my '71 USA market 911T.

Once I gave the Porsche phone rep my VIN, he put me on hold for a couple of minutes, came back and at my request he read off the Engine # over the phone, + read off my car's other options at the same time. I did end up ordering the $100 COA, but the phone rep still gave me the info before I had committed to ordering anything.

Give it a shot, maybe they'll tell you over the phone.

yes, my engine number matches up to 72 MFI 2.4 T
but it doesn't mean my car is matching numbers
It just means the car has the right engine

Nice catch, GTC! I figured Playa was somebody's idea of a fun alter-ego a while back.
