Thank you for your help,
Bob

The "Little Red Book" has the number ranges as do a few other reference tomes, OR you can simply post them and someone will tell ya.

Here is a picture with case and serial numbers. Thank you for your assistance.

The top one is a casting parts number.....my books are in storage so I can't help on the serial number.

Engine number is to the right....

It is an unusual number. It should be a 68 or 69 911 S but the high production number (9156) is throwing me off. I seem to recall the 9 number indicates a racing motor perhaps, but hopefully there will be a more accurate response. Here is a free source for tracking engine and vin info.


Porsche 911 Farbdatenbank

A bit off topic, but is there a good online source for later the later 911. I have searched but not come across anything real great for my 1980.

Will try and source The Red Book as it could be valuable.

Thanks

A 930 casting number means it's 76 or older......

Eng. # 6399156 should be a late 1979 3.0. Engine type 930/03
