Certificate of Authenticity

Porsche of North America has a program for owners to obtain information on what kind of Porsche it orginially started life as. Many years ago this information was stored on a Kardex. Porsche kept a card (similar to a card catalog of American librarys) that contained information helpful for them to keep track of original equipment for warranty servicing of the cars.

As the years went by, many times this information was accessed by owners to determine what was original equipment, was the 356 speedster a Carrera 4-cam? or a plain jane Speedster? It was helpful when selling cars, for collectors, or those undertaking restorations.

Most of the inquires in the early days were towards the 356 cars. You actually got a photocopy of the original kardex. Now the service is avaliable for any Porsche model, and you receive a Certifciate of Authenticity.

	With more cars around, and this service being more widely known, Porsche Cars of North America (PCNA) set-up a service, the Certificate of Authenticity program. The original kardex is not avaliable to owners anymore, but a frameable piece of paper is now delivered to the owner. Please download the current form to learn about fees and timeframe. This process does take a tremendous amount of time to research, be patient. Currently the Certificate of Authenticity includes your vehicle's original factory specifications, production completion date (Birth Date) and manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). The document can be framed or laminated to your chosing, and discounts are offered to PCA members. Download the form to the left to get the particulars.
