@OsoShark Hi OsoShark, thanks for the follow-up! Here are the details straight from the owner:
Speedometer & Gauges: All gauges are original German-language units with consistent, matching patina across the dash. Mileage Documentation: The original owner’s manual is included with the car. On the inside cover, the first owner noted the purchase mileage as 850 km on January 1, 1986. Service Records: The current owner maintained a handwritten service log inside the same manual. His first logged entry is dated April 11, 1986, at 6,962 km, covering a full service, valve adjustment, filter replacement, and MFI tune. We don't have records prior to January 1986, but this original manual and early logbook help document its early history.
@OsoShark - I just spoke with the owner to get you direct, detailed answers. Here is the latest, straight from him:
-Engine Documentation & Mileage: The owner purchased this 911 in January 1986 as the second owner. At that time, the odometer read 850 km. It currently shows 15,300 km, meaning he has put approximately 9,000 miles on the car across his 40 years of ownership. While he does not have a formal Porsche CoA/PPS document on hand, he recently had the car at a local Porsche specialist shop for a valve adjustment and MFI tuning. The shop confirmed the engine and transmission match the car properly.
-Transmission & Stamping: The gearbox stamping reads #7220401. (Note for bidders: 1972 was the transition year to the Type 915 transmission, and code 722xxx denotes a factory 4-speed Type 915 unit for a 1972 6-cylinder model).
-Chassis, Metalwork & Rust: Zero structural metalwork, rust repair, or sheet metal replacement of any kind. The owner confirms there is no rust present anywhere on the vehicle.
-Compression & Leakdown: There are no recent formal compression or leakdown numbers on record, though the car runs very well following its recent shop service and MFI tune.
-Engine Rebuild History: The owner is unaware of any major internal engine teardowns or rebuilds during his 40-year ownership period (and has no record of internal work done prior to 1986). The car has simply been maintained as needed.
-Accident History & Body Modifications: No accident history and no body panel replacements, with the sole exception of period-style modifications to install the current front bumper and rear ducktail decklid.

Correct. Green is a normal color of the shroud for a Model E. When this car underwent a color change, some trim highlighted with headlight bezels, rearview mirrors, and the engine shroud was paint-matched.
Transmissions used up to 1972 were considerably different than those used from 72 onward. The two types can be easily distinguished; the early type had the reverse gear at the forward left position while the later type had the reverse gear at the rear right position.
Second, third, fourth, and fifth in the five-speed are equivalent to first, second, third, and fourth in the four-speed.
@Upshift4 In 1972, the 10-digit VIN did not specify Transmission type; instead, it gave you the model/engine variant, which determined the Transmission options that were available. In 72, that included a four-speed, a five-speed, and a sport automatic; a sport automatic was a three-speed. There were two versions of the four-speed and five-speed, late and early.
