Engine Number 6870538
 

Dear All,

I have owned the engine and gearbox for 7 years now and in that time I have had to put it into storage due to ill health. I now have recovered and wish to try and track down the matching VIN/Chassis and reunite them.

I have spoken to the moderator of the 930 Turbo Registry who suggested trying the Porsche Factory to see if they would release the details of the matching chassis.

I was wondering if any of the geniuses who read or contribute to this great site/community would have any ideas to help me track down the matching chassis?

Regards to all,

Tom McCarthy

Close, if it was 461 we could talk, that is the one missing from my 77 turbo.
My VIN ends in 477, I don't know if that will help or not.
Glad to hear you have recovered.

Tom,
Couldn't the Porsche Club of Great Britain do a reverse look-up, of sorts to find the chassis ID? I may require joining the club, but may pay for itself in the long run.

Gents,

Many thanks for the help, one important thing I forgot to mention was the fact I bought it from the US and it was confirmed to be "US spec" turbo 930/53 with 245bhp.

I will ask Porsche UK next week to see what help they can offer. I am in two minds what to do with it at the moment. I don't want to build a car round it if I or someone else can use it to better effect with the original chassis.

Appreciate all the help and good wishes!

Regards
