G & R Automobile metal tag?
I just purchased a 1978 911 Targa. In the glovebox I found a long metal tag:
stampings are in "quotes". "PORSCHE" MFD. BY: "G & R AUTOMOBILE MANNHEIM GERMANY" IMPORTED BY: (left blank) DATE OF MFG. "1978" GVWR "1500 KG" GVWR FRONT "650 KG" GAWR REAR "930 KG" VIN "911...…." TYPE "911" This is a ROW car. Anyone seen this tag before? Thanks, John |

That’s from when theyimported it and federalized the car making it US legal. It’s usually on the driver’s door jam.

check inside the doors for a side impact bar. They were not "delicate" installing US legal stuff.
