I'm going to look at a 1966 911. Where would I find the engine and chassis numbers?

Where can I verify that These are matching numbers?


Thanks!

 

find out if the seller has a COA issues from Porsche they should show the engine and VIN numbers. i just hope they have the recorde from that far back .

the VIN you can just ask the seller for and he should be able to show you . Mine i think is under the front carpet and in the drivers door frame. but he should be able to show you .

The engine number is a little trickier .. pop the rear deck lid and look at the fan ,on the lower right side of the fan on the casing the number is printed there ..may be hard to find. post the number here and we will at least be able to tell you if it matches that model and year of car ..but cant tell you if its original.

That car was only about 2 years after they started making them .. hope its in nice shape..

 

I will shoot you the numbers as soon as I get them. Here are some pics so far. Let me know what you think so far...ill shoot more pics when I can. Thanks is so much. Can't wait to get a long hood swb parked next to the 965....fingers crossed

 

holy crap what a find .. looks in amazing shape for the year ..

 

So here are some pics. Let me know your opinion. All original. One respray. Solid car. A few blemishes but it runs great. It's ready to be driven. Matching numbers. What do you think is a good price? What is high and what is low? Thanks in advance

 

its amazing what these cars are going for .. that one looks like it needs some work .. i have no idea of values other than what I hear but my friend with a nice 69 was just offered 60 for his. if he wants under 10 take it and RUN ...

 

Wow! if the car checks out, it would be something special. Its the year I was born.

 

Per Excellence mag's 2013-14 Buyer's Guide, the historically significant short wheel base 911s (1964-68) are market priced in the $40-70K range depending on condition. Show quality cars can reach $100K while basket cases aren't worth restoring unless you're a 1% looking for a hobby.

This is a thin market where only experts fear to tread. Go find one and have him assist you.

 

Thanks guys. I passed on it bc I don't want to restore a car. It's a driver that needs restoring at some point but is presentable. I saw the slippery slope and decided to get off the ledge. If anyone is interested I can give you the sellers contact info. He is asking 45k firm and I found out he bought it in nov 2011 for 20k after further research. I'd buy for 20 but I won't be the sucker at 45
