Build Date

#1 Post by Jim Beam »

My 1963 B (T6) Coupe turns 60 this year. I have a CoA but it does not list the Build Date. VIN is 213189. Anyone out there have a car with a close VIN and known Build Date? Thanks.

Hey Mike: Thanks for the response. I 'm probably in April 1963 or so for a builder Date on my car.

Maybe March or April but the Kardex would be definitive.

I have a CoA that I got sometime in the '90's that also did not have the build date. Around 6 or 8 years ago, noticing on people mention build dates from their CoA, I called the number at Porsche NA that dealt with the CoA's and the lady was able to look up the build date and tell me what it was. I was also able to order an updated CoA at a nominal cost to replace the original. Probably can't do that now as they have done away with the old CoA's. But, a phone call might get you a verbal build date.

I've also found the folks at PCNA to be very helpful. The specialist who helped me with an omission on a COA a few years ago was:

I emailed an inquiry (coa@porsche.us) with my vin and inquired about the Build Date. Any idea when I I might expect a response? Thanks.
