964 determine the vin number of the car

ETA if you found the shell number and ask Porsche to tell you what the VIN was, they wouldn't tell you.

Certain parts were changed throughout the 964's production span including the rear shock mounts, engine intake plenums, etc. if your car is a 1992 model it should have the later shock mounts and plastic intake. Do you know if it was a factory wide body cab or done afterwards? Are you sure it's a model year 1992 car?

I believe that if you can find these they are only the shell numbers. These numbers are only short and were written by hand. They are only used to authenticate that an NGT or cup car still have their original shells in the event of a racing accident. They're of no use to identify the car for ordering parts or to confirm the cars originality.

is the original turbo - look 100%. about the year of the car I'm not sure, although in documents in 1992. I just do not believe that it is impossible to determine this vehicle. Really this car is only one item with steel room under the gas tank? because the rest of signs or are not reliable and may be outdated.

there are times when the car was stolen and specially cleaned all the rooms. but criminologists make requests to the factory and find the true origin of the vehicle. luckily my car is not stolen, but unfortunately I can not determine its own

My car is a 1990 and has a plastic tag (black) in colour which is engraved into the plastic the vin number and sits on the windscreen pillar on drivers side (LHD) I noticed it more when I removed the glass
also maybe plugging into a PST2 tester and going to car information might reveal information. Not sure as I have not read my ecu for some time.
the glass has a date stamp and other components have date stamps and batch numbers if Porsche wanted to they can find out exactly what year or month that car was produced and eventually by rule of elimination figure out what number that car was by colour and body type etc LHD or RHD batch numbers etc

OK, if you're sure its a factory turbo look cab, then they were only produced in 1992.
Does the engine still have the engine number on it? (It's hard to see, but its stamped on the right hand side of the engine case next to crank pulley. With this you should also be able to confirm which year it'll likely be, plus I guess it might be possible for Porsche to say which VIN it belongs too. It's a long shot though, but maybe worth a try?
