Deciphering the Kardex 1965 911

davep,

Do you have links to Pay for and request a Porsche COA/Kardex and Dealer Purchase Order Forms?

If so could you please send them to me?

The first two are key codes.
The date is the invoice date to the distributor. Remember, this is a Warranty document, not a production document per se. I sometimes see true completion dates and am able to compare to the invoice dates; the latter are sometimes weeks later.

First key code above is the lock, second the key itself.

There's an article over at the 356 Registry, Kardex Translations: German/English ny Dr. Brett Johnson.

• ausgel. am : Delivery date
• Zündschloß-Nr.: Ignition switch number/shift lock here also. I believe FL series keys were for the locking steering columns while K series keys were for steering columns that didn't lock.
• Schlüssel-Nr.: Key number (door on early cars)/glovebox key here also

It says your car reached 100,000 km in 1967 but "G.uhr Plakette: date a wrist watch and a 100.000 km badge are sent to the owner in recognition of driving 100.000 km in a Porsche" is blank. Maybe you should take it to a Porsche Design Store and see if they'll give you a watch.

Dr Johnson's article also states: Later Kardexes have a couple of different fields and no longer had carpet, headliner and dashboard: Abnahme-Besch: on these Kardexes means the date that the customer/dealer received it, while ausgel.am: completion date (Kar.angel.am is not on these Kardexes)

However, I can tell you that chassis number 301382 was delivered before your ausgel. am date:

Attachment 384142

It is interesting to see that your car was delivered in the USA! Any number of people have told me that there were no 911s delivered in the USA in 1965 because of the extreme difficulty of meeting federal regulations.

Of course, in 1965, there were no federal regulations. All the states demanded sealed beam headlights and I'm pretty sure Porsche had the parts on hand for that.

my car 301379 (Jims neighbour ;-)) was also delivered in USA by the same dealer as the 301437

I think the code you refer to Jim is not the mileage. The car registered 10710 kilometers on Jan 27, 1967 (or maybe they registered miles in the US, although the column header refers to KM).
Always great to see on Kardexes that you could maintain a Porsche for a few dollars back then..........
