I can get Kardex for the 356 up through the 1969 model year 911 & 912.
Very good pricing now. Email me for information.
The COA is prepared using the Kardex, but can have information with-held.
The Kardex was a warranty record card, so it does not always have the production details.
I have obtained a Kardex that only had the VIN and the engine #; this was a car sold through Hoffman in NYC when he was the distributor. If this is all that the Kardex contained, then it is all that the COA will contain.
The details on the Kardex also need to be translated sometimes, and I can certainly help with this. With over 300 Kardex in my database I have been able to learn quite a bit, and this makes the translations better. For one thing, the people filling out the Kardex were not very consistent, and could call an option several different things. I can go back to the options tables, and figure out just what the option was. Dates on the Kardex can be many things. One thing that they are not is the completion date. In most cases the earliest date is the Invoice date from Porsche to the dealer or distributor; this can be several weeks after actual production line completion. How do I know this? I have several Kardex for early 911's where I also have the production book listings for the same car. In some instances I also have the factory Invoice.The Factory Invoice date exactly matches the Kardex date and is weeks later than the Production Book completion date. The second date on the Kardex is generally the date of sale, or more important for the factory, the date that warranty commences. For the 356 some Kardex also have the warranty expiry date; only 6 months of warranty coverage back then.
