912e vin

[DJ Connolly]

Hi All,

Anyone know of a VIN decoder that can decipher the 10 digit VIN's used in pre-81 Porsche's?

I have a 912E, and am trying to find the Build Sheet with original engine number, and exterior color color. The 912 registry only gives a range of #'s for the engine, and the exterior color code 305-9-2 (Arrow Blue) does not match up with the door jamb sticker KUNSTHARTZLACK 700-9-2 (Black).

As always, any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
DJ

DJ:
For a 912E it should decode as (using the example below)
912600XXXX
Where first three are model; 6 is year of manufacture (i.e., 1976); 0 is model 912E; 0 coupe; and the remaining (x's) are the actual serial number.
Hope this helps,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Thanks for posting. I was hoping to find a site (that you didn't have to pay for) that from the VIN could tell me the engine number, original paint color, essentially the build sheet.

Cheers,
DJ
