    Certificate of Authenticity

    Porsche of America used to tell me (for free) if an engine number and transaxle number matched a particular VIN number before I purchasrd a particular car. Now they won't even sell a COA. Whats my best alternative option?

    Depends on the model year - early cars you can maybe find a copy of the Kardex for a fee, later cars I think its much more difficult...
    1966 911 Coupe - Slate Grey - 304598 - still in restoration!

    Thank you. Do you have a preferred source for a Kardex?
