Build date column added to our data base……

Seeing not only the VIN and Engine number but the build date is a valuable bit of information on our cars, the S Registry has just added a column for that important information in our data base... and will be subsequently added to the club's roster we mail out.

So, S Registry paid members who’s cars are already in our data base PLEASE email Fred Trueman with your car’s build date (if known) by MM-DD-YYYY, please in 10 characters. And PLEASE submit the info in English/U.S form of Month, Day, and Year, NOT the German/Continental form of day, month, and year.
fctruem@verizon.net


If you only know your month and year but not day, please fill in those two 'day' spaces with two x’s.

If you don't know your month please leave it blank, we already know your year... Better no info, then the wrong info....


As far as you new or future members, we have added this question/space to all of our membership applications, online and mail in. Again, If you don’t know your build date please leave it blank.


Holiday Cheers,
The S Registry

excellent idea!!!

What is the best way to figure out your build date? I have the COA but that didn't provide it. Have the original maintenance records and they state the car was delivered through Stoddard 10/17/1973.

Help? Anyone?

KARDEX is probably the most common way to determine this...

Thanks for helping with Steven's question Stephen...........



Gentleman,

The S Registry is so far pretty disappointed in our member's responses to add to this new data point in our data base….

Out of all the paid/registered members in our data base only about a couple of dozen have added their build dates.

We thought our club members would find this data point very helpful and wanted….. maybe not.... :rolleyes:

So, if you haven’t………
Please see the first post on this thread for the needed info to add to the knowledge base of this club….

Thanks,
The S Registry

I'd give it time...and make sure Fred asks for it in his annual E-mail to members... :)

Where is the data base listed?

If you are an up to date paid member of the club you receive the data base (club roster) as a pdf every year.

If for some reason you have have not received the roster with your current paid membership please get in touch with Fred Trueman with your full name and membership number.
fctruem@verizon.net

You can always check the address box in your last ESSES for your membership expiration date...

Hope this helps,

Great thanks Chuck, as far as I know I am paid and up to date. No one has sent any thugs after me yet! :)
Any thought of having this on-line in a members only section??

Having it online is a great idea.

So I'm at the Rennsport V Porsche tent and a friend said that if you fill out a form you can get a cool gift (true) also the form had your basic info and your car's VIN. After I was handed the gift and was asked if I wanted to have my VIN looked up in the data base. I had done this before at Rennsport 3 in Daytona and nothing new was learned, but I thought 'what'the'hell...:rolleyes:

The young German Porsche guy inputted my VIN and started coming up with all the info I already knew... I fact I recited what he was going to come up next: Blue Metallic, Black leatherette, Black leather sport seats R/L, Limited slip, Tinted windows.... The young tech said "Vell, vell, you know your car quite vell sir.... By the vay, I guess you know it's build date?" I said sure, it's April, he asked "And the day it was built?"........... I said WHAT??????? ...:eek:

The one part of the puzzle I've never known. Ive always known that it was an April build, May shipped/delivered, and June sold from the two documents I sent away to Germany and Nevada (old PCNA home) 26 years ago for, and my owners records... but never the actual day it was built. The young man answered the look on my face with "Yah, we recently scanned all the information of the old records into our data base (sorry, I didn't ask how old, or what other records?)

After looking at the info on his screen I asked for a printout, to that he said "Oh no, I'm sorry sir we have no printouts, but please write down the info you need"


Today I will ask Fred to add that my 911 was built on April 18th........... :)

a new birthday to celebrate each year! :)

1990 :D I don't know the date and month :D

Lets freshen this posting,

Having the date of each cars build is just so good.

Go back to the first post and pick up correct method to list the build date MM-DD-YYYY
and send to Fred Truman

Thank you.

I've been through this process with other marques. It's going to take decades of work. Decades. :)

I wanted to verify my build date so yesterday afternoon called 1-800-PORSCHE. The woman who answered was pleasant and helpful. Within an hour she called back to confirm December 4, 1969. High marks to Porsche Cars North America for this service.

We’ve requested this before, and John Dilger has stated it in his Editor’s column in the ESSES…
But now, per your request, a column in or club’s paid membership data base, and to our yearly ‘Car Listing/Roster’ pdf mail out, has been added for your transmission numbers.

For those who have sent in this info, Fred Trueman will try to add it to our data base…
For those who are on our auto-pay system, please send your transmission numbers to Fred….
For those who renew yearly, please add this info…

And for those who will hopefully become paid members of our club, there will now be a ‘fill-in’ for your transmission numbers in our membership forms.

Please remember, becoming a paid member of this club helps bring you this message board…

The Registry

Encouraged by reading this thread, I called PCNA today to find the production date of my '73T. The serial number sticker in the door jam says July 72, so I was mildly surprised to hear the official production date of August 16, 1972.
Are the stickers applied when the tub is first constructed?

(I will forward the info to Fred)
Thank you,
Tom

This is not a criticism of the data base. It is a valuable asset of the board.
Here goes...
My car 2266 was built Sep 1965. It is shown as 1966 in the year built column and the actual build date has the last digit cut off, so actual build date I submitted was 09/07/65 but now reads 09/07/6.
This issue affects other cars with 1966 build dates.
Suggestion that the 1965-66 section of the data base needs to be cleaned up to show correct info.

We will try to address this Robert... Thanks for the head's-up
