Likely the only way on a car that old is to get the information from Porsche for your exact VIN.

Having recently exported my cars to the UK, for export purposes you will need a certificate of origin. You get this from the Porsche HQ for the receiving country. Porsche UK required the emailing of the VIN plus a scanned copy of the title document. There was also fee of around $100.

The certificate was posted back to me and included:

Month and year of manufacture

Specification the car was manufactured to, including whether it is left

or right-hand drive

Which country the car was first delivered to

Model year of the vehicle

Original engine number

Original exterior colour

The US guys will say this is pretty much what is included in the US certificate of authenticity, less the build options but the format is totally different and what is expected by the import authorities.
