911 2.2 s

[Bowzer]

Hello

I am looking at a 911 2.2s presumably built in 1970
I have the following vin plate and also a number stamped behind the dashboard.
I wish to know if these numbers ( which are different ) are as they should be , i.e. is the chassis matching the vin plate
Vin # 9111300663
Dashboard stamp # 103 2631
Also any other information welcome.
Thank you

I am having a hard time reading the aluminium plate - you should also look at the vin stamp in the trunk
'IF, as you say, the VIN stamp reads 911 130 0663 that would be a 1971 model year 911S NOT a 1970 so definitely NOT made in 1969
However the production number (which will never match the vin in a LWB car and only Porsche can tell you if it is an exact match) CANNOT POSSIBLY MATCH THIS VIN for be for a 1971 (or 1970) car

It is a production number (thus a shell / tub) for a 1973 911 Coupe
It can be decoded as
1 911
0 Porsche built coupe
3 1973 Model year
2631 series number for all coupes (T,E,S and RS) built in that model year

I am terribly sorry , my mistake built in 1970

even so it is a 1973 MY shell so absolutely not a match (i cant open those attachments in your last post)

Hello Hugh,

Whilst near the car I checked another one also the same numbers.
Are you sure the same criteria for these numbers which are as you say for SWB , the same in LWB ? Attachment 480751Attachment 480752

and this , sorry .
They are from another car

I still cant open those attachments
SWB cars did not have a separtae production number stamped - the "dash number" was the same as the vin
When Porsche moved to a "new and improved" ordering and tracking system for their cars they also incorporated a production number that was separate to the VIN and tracked the order through the production process
The "upgrade" occurred over several years and the 1969 model year (the first year of LWB cars) was the first to have the production number process
it was refined over a couple of years (and at that time Kardexes were phased out and replaced by a primitive computer based system

the production # can be decoded as follows:
format XYZabcd
X=0 replacement body
X=1 production body
Y=0 coupe
Y=1 targa
Y=2 Karmann coupe
Y=3 Karmann 914/6 targa
Z= last digit of model year beginning 1969
Z=9 1969
Z=0 1970
Z=1 1971 and so forth
abcd is the sequence #


EDIT I can see them now

[HughH]

that set are production number 113 1083 or a 1973 model year 911 Targa and the 1083rd one ordered to be built
the vin 9113510292 is for a 1973 911 T Targa and the 292nd of those made that model year (but with carbs not MFI or CIS - the 5 in the sequence for a T-Vergaser)

therefore they may be a match but only Porsche can tell you
