Chassis / body numbers

My VIN is something like 9110123173. A 1970 911T, Karmann-built coupe.

Mike I think it is, keeps reminding me the numbers on the dash and centre tunnel are not the VIN. It's eventually starting to sink in.

So I have a dash number, looks like 1203773 and a tunnel number, looks like 1203790. I thought these were the chassis number and half expected them to match. Can anybody tell me anything about these numbers?

Your production number stamped into the lower dash confirms that the car is a Karmann-built 1970 Coupe.

These numbers were stamped before the shell became model-specific - so can't confirm whether a particular car was a T, E, S ...
