Matt, from what i have seen on the 912 registry the Vin shows manufactured year as 65 model year 66. I didnt see on the registry where to find the approximate month though.?

The Engine shows to be manufactured in 66 but falls under a 67 model year.

The Trans number on the registry I see as a 902/1 begins with 234001-238942, so i didnt even see the number of mine within that spectrum. However, another posts stated the trans number began with 221000-.....

So, could it be that this Karman built car in 65 labeled as a 66 production year been given the optional 5 speed 65 gearbox, and a 66 manufactured engine labeled as a 67?

These early cars have so much interesting history, its nice to learn the unique differences.

Thanks
