9113601576 is a collection of numbers that equals big money. No, they"re not the new combination to the Hatton Gardens safe deposit, or Mark Zuckerberg"s phone number. Rather, they"re a very significant set of digits if you"re fluent in Porsche and see a car as an investment instead of transport.Those ten integers makeup the VIN number for something special. To break it down, 911" denotes the model, while 360" is the spec, namely the 1973 2.7 RS, arguably the greatest 911 of them all. And 1576"? Well, that"s the chassis number for the final, rare-as-they-come right-hand drive homologation special.They"re currently tattooed all over the main components and chassis of that rather tatty-looking, purple 911 above.
