Is this an "S"?
I found a Porsche in a storage unit and the chassis # is 305705.
I checked the engine # and it's a normal but the books seem a little ambiguous on the chassis number. Thanks for the help.

If the chassis is an "S", then the VIN will have the letter S stamped at the end. The number you posted, if that is the complete number, is for a normal.

What's an early S worth?

Hi Doug,
I see you posted this question in the Classified section about the 2.4L S coupe currently on eBay that is bid to $140K. You might want to start the same discussion in the Market Place section. Porsche Marketplace Discussion - Pelican Parts Technical BBS You will no doubt start a lively debate there. ![]() As to the 2.2S on the Samba, I would love to see that car go back to it's original color of Conda Green with a Cinammon interior, but that is a full restoration to do that so I don't think the asking makes sense yet for that one IMHO.

How does this happen? Sounds like an upscale version of dumpster diving.

Matching the car and the engine is the key though, what about just the engine 2,2S, or a non-matching 2,2S in a T?
[EDIT] I'll repost on mkt plc

That's how my car was found down in Bakersfield. The gentleman whom I bought it from had won the contents of a storage unit in a lien auction. The car was inside.
