Help estimating production date

[tholyoak]

I recently purchased a '71 911T that was unfortunately 'updated' to a short hood look sometime in the '80s or '90s. I am in the process of reverting the car to its proper state. The car has been painted black in the past and in the process the drivers door VIN label has disappeared. I want to have a replacement made when I repaint the car in its correct tangerine but have no idea on what the production date would have been. The Porsche COA of course is useless as the 'birth-date' is listed as unknown. I was wondering if anyone had a car with a production number close to mine would be able to provide me with their build date so I can at least get it a ballpark time.

The production number is 1013088, VIN 9111101456.

Thanks,
Todd

I can't help you with the specific date but the last car in 1970 was 9111100977. So yours was probably built in the spring of 1971, maybe 03 or 04. Others with a VIN either side and close to yours should nail down the month. Where are you located in Ontario?

I have the COA for my 1971 targa with vin 9111113380 (less than 200 from end of production I think) and the decal on the drivers door jam has a 7/71 date. About what one would expect as production ended in aug.
