    In fact no, wheels were not included.
    Here is 1970 (Comfort was renamed as Appereance Group)...Rubber Bumperettes and Leather Steering Wheel on the package too..available for 911T. Any 2.2 911S all had this standard.

    Re wheels, 14‘ Fuchs were an option for 911T, 15‘ Fuchs an option for 911T or 911E.
    911S had 15‘ standard.

    Would the consensus be that this COA is way off? Not that it really means too much but from my research, the engine reported to be in this car is about 175 out of sequence. I'm told there could be many reasons for this like a color change, etc.

    Engine number can indeed be way off.

    My guess is the COA is in at least two points wrong:
    -Color info is wrong.
    -Comfort Equipment is wrong.

    Lets see...tell them and ask why they say Comfort Equipment as „Optional Equipment „ for an S, when it came standard for an S. It wasnt even an option for a 911S but, for a 911T only.
    You will know it better than them..

    So, nothing back from COA regarding my inquiry about the equipment listed.

    On a really cool note, I was able to speak to the previous owner. He bought the car in 1982 from a kid he went to high school with. He had it repainted in 1987 to black. It was parked in 1992 after having kids (sounds right). The story is that the car belonged to a Pilot that flew out of JFK. It was stolen from the airport. But he had no proof of it and didn't know anything regarding the re-vin. Waiting on pictures!

    Long shot here, and German hand writing experts in the group? Am I reading the dash production number correctly? Think maybe it could be 1002237 instead of 1002937? I'm going to look at some of the production date stamps and see where they land. According to the info I got, it was a March delivery. I already have too much money invested in trying to figure this damn thing out. What's a little more in the name of preservation!

    I really appreciate the insight from everyone! Smart SOB's in here.

    Me thinks the guy dragged the crayon at the bottom of the first 9. Try 1009937.

    I thought about that but I don't think they produced that many cars for 1970?

    That would have been my guess too. Who encloses the top of a two?

    makes more sense than that both the color and options are so far off. Interesting to see if this production number can be traced back to a serial nr....
