Size:  80.8 KBPorsche books.In one book it shows the cars engine numbers starts with 3380001 but, on my car it starts with 3280001. And check out my vin number. It doesn't make sense.The fourth digit is for the body shell. My fourth digit is 5,showing its a Targa S, but its not. Getting more info,I find out that the fifth digit is #5 denotes a Karmann body shell.What in the Hell. If anyone can HELP I would love to here back.Thanks Louis

    Here's one of the guides I've always referred to. I've found some of the lists of chassis numbers are, shall we say, less than accurate. One of the first lists I found after I got my normal coupe showed my chassis number to also be an "S"

    Yes, a lot of the online lists are notoriously inaccurate. One very good reason to be on this forum. The numbers on your car are perfectly normal for the VIN range.
    Two things I would like to know: The actual paint code on the badge including prefix & suffix; & the build # on the engine for details look here:
