    WTB: Front Data Plate '68 or so

    Twenty years ago when my car was repainted, the data plate was removed from the front bumper area and is long gone. I just want another one to put in it's place. Nothing screwy on trying to get an old VIN for my car or anything going on, my VIN matches in the spot near the smuggler's boot and under the knee bar, so I know it's just a case of missing plate syndrome. I don't want to buy a shiny reproduction one to put in that spot and have to get it stamped, I'm hoping someone has an old one they pulled off a parts car or has in a drawer somewhere. My car is a regular 911, 1968 model, but I believe the plates were all similar except for the VIN on the early cars. Thanks! The pic is just an example of one I found on the net, just so I'm clear on what I'm looking for. I'd go get one myself from a parts yard, but there aren't any around here!

    I have a reproduction for $175. Difficult to photograph. Will refund your money if you are not happy with the quality. The body number is unstamped. The data plate is for a 911S SWB and has all the correct reverse embossing. I have more than one if anyone is interested,. I also have reproduction data plates for 1973 RS without stamped body number and correct reverse embossing.

    I've had a couple of offers for the $175-$250 reproduction plates- I really appreciate it, but I just want an old used one to simply fill the space that appears naked to me in the front of the car, that's all. I'm spending my money making it mechanically reliable right now.
