Just for laughs, look at this thread for the "stranger" but more common 1969 silver code:

Interesting.

VIN is 119220570.

Thanks for the VIN reference, it helps my paint code research.

Thx for the input, we love lots of detail pix.

VIN doesn't look correct, should start with 11920XXXX ??

Karmann built cars had the extra 2 in the vin ie 11922xxxx to identify them as Karmann built not Porsche built

thanks for the link…🙏🙏

Note for Brbrbr: the completion date of the CoA is likely the Invoice date or possibly the date of first sale. This can be weeks after actual completion. I have a lot of data on the cars and know actual completion dates for a few, the Invoice date for many, an actual shipping date for one, and date of sale for some. The actual Kardex (a warranty record card) should be available for this car if required. This is a nicely optioned car. BTW, there is a Karmann body # to be found at the rear of the tunnel under the access plate for the shift rod coupling, and around the edge of the opening hidden under the carpet. The Production # (similar format) which is not the same as the VIN as in previous years can be found under the knee pad in the area below the radio opening in the dash.

All '73 heads have the same size valves for T , E and S , but the port sizes are different , so if not already done have the ports enlarged to match the intake manifolds . I really like the 2.0S engine , but it was anemic below 5000 RPM so the 2.2
is a good upgrade , but you loose the 2.0 S personality . The 2.0S production engine was the closet engine Porsche built to the race engines , but people don't like them because there's no low end .
