How many per day?

I have a 68 911T SWT w/o engine/trans, BUT have an opportunity to buy an engine that is only 154 off in numbers (earlier though) than what the factory gave me for our engine number. Does anybody know, roughly, how many days off this # may have been for ours? Should I buy it due to its proximity in # to ours? I doubt that I would find THE actual engine, though that would be awesome. Thanks for your input.

Well, if you did not misread (I previously misread your year for a 69...) your VIN, you got a...

1968 911T Targa (RoW). 521 Produced, the engine would have been a 901/03 with a serial # between 2080001-2081754.

VIN is correct. The engine # per the COA is 2080535 The trans # is 2280485 (901/03). I need both. Thanks

The Red Book does not list a Transmission type of 901/03 for the 68 911T. It list 901/10 or 905/00 (Sporto).

I'll check a couple more reference.

I understand that the COA should not be taken as gospel truth. I appreciate your research.

Unfortunately the engine I was referring to above has been sold. Still on/in the hunt though.

Yes but for this instance, I would go with the COA

If you google "porsche 901/03 transmission", they do fit the 68 911T and some of the link have them for sale for less then $1,000.

It might be worth while to check them out and if you are very lucky...

How did you determine it was a RoW, and not a US market car?

Body Chassis # 11870138

In the 4th position:

0 = S Coupe
1 = 911 Coupe
3 = U.S. 911 Coupe
5 = S Targa
6 = L Targa
7 = T Targa
8 = U.S. Targa

So, does that infer that all T's were RoW and not US bound? Thanks for the input btw.

It does look like it for the 911T (touring) Targa, according to the Red book but they also list some 911T & 911T (Karmann) which would be coupe and have a "2" in the forth VIN position but not listed in the sequence (see post # 11) but in the write up they allude that the T (touring) was offered at a lower price and with lower performance (110 hp) engine in Europe.

Welcome to Porsche not so precise record keeping

In Waynes Engine Rebuild books, he list the 68 901/03 engine as a European version in a 911T, so all the indicators point that your car is a 911T Targa RoW.

In 69, the 911T was available in 2 versions (Targa & Coupe) for both the U.S. and RoW

11835001 to 11835742 USA Coupe K 911
11855001 to 11855134 USA Targa 911L
11880001 to 11880268 USA Targa 911

11820001 to 11820928 ROW Coupe 911T
11825001 to 11825683 ROW Coupe K 911T

11850001 to 11850442 ROW Targa 911S

11899001 to 11899020 ------ Coupe 911R
As called earlier

The Red Book does not describe the "2 in the 4th position and it does not list; 11899001 to 11899020 ------ Coupe 911R but does mentioned that the 911R was a limited production run of light weight competition cars. Also refers to it as 911T/R
