How to acquire build option codes?

[smiles11]

I am trying to acquire all of the option codes for a 73S Targa. I am trying to avoid having to get a CTC through Porsche & I know 73 cars do not have a Kardex. Are there other avenues to acquire the options codes for our cars? Is there an 'inside' contact I could pay to pull this information? Will a CTC be my only option?

I have a CoA from 1998 with options listed. Is it possible there are hidden options that aren’t listed on a 98 CoA that a CTC would uncover? Like radio choice, factory AC, etc?

question regarding 402! What difference is there from 402 to 103 for example? When you name Brake S. If this option was requested in a 911 S in which it varied, the S calipers were standard, right?

and 569 for 1972 (nerf bar)

I never knew this. Interesting.
The PET does not show this.

So I spoke to PCNA & they gave me information over the phone since I already have the CoA. Normally you’d need a CTC to confirm option codes & other details.

The only option that wasn’t listed on my CoA was Dunlop tires

C02 - US Emmissions
409 - Leather Sport Seats
568 - Tinted Glass

[fourteenten]

409 is Recaro Sport seats, not specifically leather. Also leatherette with corduroy..

Cees

C02- US Emmissions. haha- never been an option to choose.

C02- US Emmissions. haha- never been an option to choose.

It was just a charcoal canister and fuel vapor venting. Nothing that affected engine performance.

[dirk07]

It was not offered as an option. You had the emission system in an US car to fulfill US law. Either an option for other countries, nor an option not to have in the US.
