Vin decode

[dimps8]

Can any of you 911 guys tell what this car is from the pillar tag? Supposed to be a 68s. I don't have access to the vin plate or the car.

68 is 118xxxxxx per the redbook....
69 is 119xxxxxx

70 is 911xxxxxxx

Thanks Joe, 68 912?, another misleading ad, at least he got the year right.

from 1965 thru 1973, on the "long-hood" cars, the VIN plate was riveted up front near the front hood/trunk latch. A separate VIN plate was riveted to the front windshield A-pillar starting in 1969.


That looks like it's in the door jamb and NOT a VIN #. OR it's a 912....like you mentioned......

My '69 912 Vin is 129xxxxxx. '68 912 is 128xxxxx.

so that could be the 10th 912 for 1968?

Yes, a 1968 912 coupe built by Porsche (as opposed to Karmann built); #10 of only 427. Karmann built almost 5600 912 coupes while Porsche concentrated on the 911 and the Targa model that year. The paint code 6803 is Ossi blue.
