Wow, your car has some serious work - does it still have the accusump? Just too bad they didn't securely reinstall the cam sprocket.

Crap. My Google search showed that my car was previously owned by a Colombian drug lord, and is on "watch" lists in 17 countries.

Haha. Good one

Anyway i got responce from pca:
Unfortunately, we do not have any record of your vehicle.* I would suggest obtaining a Certificate of Authenticity by calling 1-800-PORSCHE, option 5.* Best of luck in your search and have a wonderful holiday season!
I think they are just too lazy... car bekonged to atleast 2-3pca members who tracked it, but they have no records.. lol

They may not be able to release the information from a legal stand point, who knows.

I called Porsche Cars North America to get history on my car.

They girl I spoke to was great. She dug up info as far back as the assembly line in Germany.

They also sent me a letter with some good info.

Try calling them....my advice to anyone looking for info.

Very helpful and professional.
