Is Miss April a car with matching numbers?  You betcha!  The proof is in the Kardex.  Below is a copy of the Kardex for the car and I have typed in a translation to English.  I also blocked out the ignition key code just to be safe.

How many date codes and date stamps are on the engine for Miss April?
In the Originality Section, you'll find two articles I wrote for the 356 Registry magazine.  First one is about manufacturer date codes and the second article is about those codes and stamps on Miss June.

To answer the question above- so far I have documented 8 date codes or stamps are in the engine compartment.  Photos are below.
  • Coil- 501 (January 1965)
  • Distributor- 412 (December 1964)
  • Generator is 326 (receipts show generator was replaced 11/8/77 with rebuilt unit)​
  • Yellow Wire Bosch Condenser- 434 (34th week of 1964)
  • Carburators- both 10 64 
  • Air Filter Housings- Both are 1 65 (very hard to read in the photo)
  • ​Oil temperature sender- 1/65
  • ​Voltage Regulator 410 (October 1964)

Note on other date codes not in the engine compartment
  • Date code on both horns is 501 (January 1965)
  • Headlights are both headlights are A45 (45th week of 1964)





Not to sure if adding this link will work for non 356 Registry members.  Let's hope so.  Here is a link to an article on the Registry website I helped with.  Subject is the color of 356 C fan shrouds.
