5.0 out of 5 stars
Concise and highly useful,
By bram williams (Newtown, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Porsche 911 Red Book: 1965-1999 (Paperback)
Porsche 911 information abounds -- so Patrick C. Paternie must be commended for distilling the most salient material into this pocket-sized volume.By sticking to a clear "model-year by model-year format" (referencing both chassis and engine numbers), and listing all factory specified changes, updates, options, colours etc., the Porsche 911 Red Book is focussed and easy to use. For anyone attempting to buy an original used 911 (or in the process of restoring one) this book is invaluable.

LOTS OF INFO IN A SMALL PACKAGE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Porsche 911 Red Book: 1965-1999 (Paperback)
What a great little book. The author has sorted out a myriad of conflicting serial number charts and, imho, has the most accurate listing of production figures, serial numbers, and options in print right now. And Priced at ten bucks, I actually bought 2! One for the glove box, and one for the shelf. I find I look at the book a lot more than my much more expensive Porsche books. Nice to just have the cold, hard facts and not some puff-shirted opinion between the pages.

The Best 911 book I have found.,
By Johnny K "Johnny K" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Porsche 911 Red Book: 1965-1999 (Paperback)
This has all the 911 production facts you need. If your buying or already own a 911 this book gets down to the little details. Serial numbers and every change throughout the years are explained. I was pleasantly suprised and you will be too.
