Ownership listing was always hit or miss. That depended on the distributor to fill in the data, and not all were diligent. More likely to be filled in if the car had warranty claims.

Interloper question for the braintrust here- I am visiting from the transaxle world, trying to understand the relationship between production numbers and VINs. I see that the earliest Kardex with an explicit Production number was in 1970. Does anyone have insight on the temporal assignment of production numbers and VINs relative to the start of assembly? Production numbers were stamped on bodies before paint, I'm less clear on when VINs were assigned (stamped, VIN tags riveted on/VIN stickers applied).
I'm looking at a dataset of production numbers and VINs and there's some non-linearity (numerically lower VINs with numerically higher production numbers and vice versa) and am looking for insight on factory production line workflow from the 1970s (and assuming there were not significant differences between 911 and transaxle production practices)
^^^^ sounds like a question for davep!

‘67 911S Canary/Lemon yellow, sunroof coupe produced w/100L tank. Until determined otherwise, 306943S appears to be 1 of 1, and among the earliest 911’s with a 100L tank. The 911’s initial participation in a competitive event, the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally, was fitted with a 100L tank (#300055). Seeking additional info on earliest 100L tank fitments to 911’s.
