I thougt Porsche still put a stamp/plate with a date. I'd have to check my 986 to share where its located. On my old 914 and 911 it was on the door jamb.

I think the best info , including the date of fabrication can be ordered from PORSCHE USA ;
Certificate Of Authenticity.
Costs some money , though....
95 + shipping.

Hi,

I bought a CPO, and it came with a CofA. Lots of letter there!

Anyhow, my car was "born" July '02 (date of production)...would that be considered a late '02? When did they start producing '03's?

How long does it take to get over to the US once it's assembled?

Thanks,

Yeah - it's stated on the build sticker. That's on the drivers door of my 2002, near the latch.
