LeeM Posted 3January, 2017 Report Share Posted 3January, 2017 I'd be doing a lot of research on that, yet best of luck if it's correct. Roni. are you there?Before 911 production commenced in 1964, the Porsche Vehicle Research Department had set aside chassis numbers 13328, 13329, 13330, 13352, and 13386 through 13397 for research testing of the 902; research vehicle Serial Number 13394 is the oldest 902 known to exist today.

Thank you.So, the 4th digit for a 65 car would be "5" followed by 2 digits if it was one of the first 99 cars built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9er Posted 5January, 2017 Report Share Posted 5January, 2017 The first 100 912 cars built run from 350 001 to 350 100 and have some other unique identifying features which were lost by the time they got to 350 750 or so, which coincides with the holiday break.
