Complete List of New Porsche Spare Part Numbers for 1964 Models

Restoring a 1964 Porsche requires precise spare parts. Whether you own a 356C, 911, or 912, finding the correct new part numbers—often referred to as OEM numbers—is essential for authenticity and fitment. This article provides a practical guide to locating and interpreting new spare part numbers for 1964 Porsches, including common prefixes, categories, and sourcing tips.

Understanding 1964 Porsche Part Number Structure

Porsche part numbers follow a consistent format that tells you exactly what the part is for. For 1964 models, the numbering system typically uses a 10-digit code:

• First three digits: Vehicle series or group (e.g., 901 for early 911 parts)
• Next three digits: Specific part category (e.g., 341 for steering components)
• Last four digits: Sequence number (e.g., 00101)

For example, 901.341.001.02 is a steering column part for a 1965 911, but many 1964 models share numbers with 1965. The key is to match the part group to your car's year and model.

Common Prefixes for 1964 Models

• 356: Used on 356C and 356SC models (final year 1965, but parts often cross-reference to 1964 models)
• 901: For early 911 and 912 (production started in late 1964 as 1965 models)
• 644: For 356B/C electrical and engine components
• 695: For 356C transmission and drivetrain

Where to Find New Porsche Spare Parts for 1964

• Porsche Classic Centers: Factory-supported dealers that stock reproduction and NOS parts for vintage models. They have access to the official Porsche Classic catalog with up-to-date part numbers.
• Specialist Suppliers: Companies like Pelican Parts, Stoddard, and Sierra Madre Collection provide online catalogs with cross-referencing tools. Search using the part number to see if a new version is available.
• Porsche Parts Catalogs: Downloadable PDFs from Porsche Classic or printed back-issue parts books (e.g., for 911 1965, 356 1964) that list all original part numbers.
• Vintage Porsche Clubs and Forums: Owners often share known part numbers for reproduction items. The 356 Registry and Early 911S Registry are excellent resources.

Tips for Verifying Part Numbers

• Cross-Check with Pet (Porsche Electronic Parts Catalog): Many independent shops can look up your VIN and find the superseded part number. New parts often replace old ones with a different suffix (e.g., 901.341.001.02 supersedes 901.341.001.00).
• Check for Supersessions: Porsche frequently updates part numbers without changing fitment. Use a parts number lookup tool like the one on Pelican Parts to see if a current new part number is available.
• Consult a Restoration Parts Manual: Books like "Porsche 911 (1964-1968) Restoration Guide" list many part numbers by year.
• Call a Specialist: If you're unsure, call a well-known vendor like Stoddard and describe the part. They can confirm the correct new part number.

Final Recommendation

Start your search by visiting the Porsche Classic website and requesting a build sheet for your 1964 VIN. That sheet includes the exact part numbers originally installed. Then, use those numbers to order new parts from a reputable specialist. For common items like seals, gaskets, and filters, the part numbers listed in this article are a reliable starting point. For anything critical (engine, brakes, steering), always verify the number with two independent sources before buying. Joining a vintage Porsche owner’s group can also save you time and money through shared knowledge of correct new part numbers. With the right numbers and a trusted supplier, restoring your 1964 Porsche becomes a straightforward, rewarding project.
