tazzieman Posted 20June, 2013 Report Share Posted 20June, 2013 To add to a little mystery on my car , the paint code plate middle number is an "8" , not the usual "9" which denotes the Porsche factory. I am making some discrete enquiries... "nerd alert" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarreraG50 Posted 20June, 2013 Report Share Posted 20June, 2013 To add to a little mystery on my car , the paint code plate middle number is an "8" , not the usual "9"Woah had me going there for a minute, till I realised your car is left hand drive.IIRC 8 means your car wasnt built (assembled) at PORSCHE, certanily not painted there.I think your car was probably done at the old Karmann(914)factory.(Memory fading on this stuff)As a side note RS's (usually?) have an 8 paint code as well (RHD & LHD)cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 20June, 2013 Report Share Posted 20June, 2013 The nerd in me knows about the RS number 8s! The Karmann factory got out of 911s in around '72. But , maybe they were still used for certain reasons from time to time. Perhaps all the Jap ones were painted there? Who knows?

CarreraG50 Posted 20June, 2013 Report Share Posted 20June, 2013 Yeah 78 is a bit late, but I think when the factory was busy the "overflow" was farmed out.These cars got the 8 paint code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 20June, 2013 Report Share Posted 20June, 2013 Perhaps all the sunroof delete ones (destined for sports purposes ) were pulled out of the normal factory line. Not saying that mine has any secret bits on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM911 Posted 3November, 2013 Report Share Posted 3November, 2013 Well, if it doesn't sell for about $60k, bump up the price and see if any dumb-asses then fall for it at $120k... http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/results.aspx?q=((Service%3d%5bCarsales%5d)%26((((((SiloType%3d%5bBrand+new+cars+in+stock%5d)%7c(SiloType%3d%5bDealer+used+cars%5d))%7c(SiloType%3d%5bDemo+and+near+new+cars%5d))%7c(SiloType%3d%5bPrivate+seller+cars%5d))%26(Make%7b%3d%7d%5bPorsche%5d))%26(Year%3drange%5b1960..1980%5d)))&sortby=Price What the???

Uncle Posted 3November, 2013 Report Share Posted 3November, 2013 For a laugh I just rang them and after a couple of questions I asked if there was room to move on the price. Frank told me "not much mate" so I made an offer of 30k. He hung up on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB911 Posted 4November, 2013 Report Share Posted 4November, 2013 Nice work Uncle Jesus, this bloke is clearly using too much of his own product. I thought I saw this car on Wanted, in Punchbowl near a Meth lab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
