Can anyone decode this Porsche VIN? Since its the old format, I think its pre-1981.

VIN 9119210476

Thanks

1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa, serial number 0476 according to this: https://www.stuttcars.com/technical/vin-decoder/

Oooooh. How much? Now that I drive a water-cooled, I know exactly what Jazz was talking about a couple of years ago when he compared the models of 911 and how the visceral nature of the air cooled cars made them better "sports cars" than the more capable, faster, but "gentler" (and heavier) grand-touring more-recent cars.

Thanks Jazz! Have found lots of links to decode the more modern VINs, but was unable to locate the link you provided.

Long story, short:

Saw it in the parking lot at work. Has some mods and upgrades that make it look unlike straight up stock. So was just curious. Will make a couple of calls tomorrow to see if I can locate the owner!

If it's a 1981 might want to try one of these (then no need to locate the owner...)

LOL, Dr K!
