Help needed to track history of 9112300505

[TonyI]

I purchased a signal orange 1972 911S that was previously owned by another member of this site. I have good records on the restoration performed on the car back in 2014 and I am told I’m the 3rd owner. Searching the VIN online has turned up some history, including this very site. What I have not been able to find:

How can I find the build date for this car? The driver door-jam sticker is gone. I also have the COA and “Production Completion Date: Information Not Available”. Apologies for the newbie questions, but does the VIN alone provide enough information to determine what month and year the car was built?

Is it possible to find out the original selling dealer name / location?

Any leads on how best to track this information down would be greatly appreciated!!



Overall the restoration of the body was done to an extremely high level and has held up well at 8+ years. The interior work was not done to the same standard and I am working on that with Tony G. Here is a picture of the recovered front seats:

Easy way to get the month and year your car was manufactured is from the sticker on the driver’s side door jam, if it’s still there.

Unfortunately the driver’s door jam sticker is long gone, but thanks for reply.

Bummer… I’m sure there’s a way to narrow it down based on the vin and other members might be able to provide additional info. Beautiful car by the way.

'72S Vin. 9112300518 had a door jamb sticker of 1/72 so my guess is yours is 12/71.
