Format:Paperback
This book is a good reference about one of the best cars ever built. Every major change is highlighted in a chapter with comprehensive explanation about the adaptations and includes chassis numbers, engine numbers and numbers produced. Technical details about the engines, a list of options and colours, as well as performance figures are included. This book is excellent for enthousiasts wishing to check details when 'looking at' a 911. It could have more pictures, but considering the price and format, it's an allround thumbs up.

Concise and highly useful
9 Jan 2001
Format: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
5 Jan 2001
Format: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.

Ultimate 911 Shopping Guide
3 April 2001
Format:Paperback
I am currently in the process of buying my first 911 and a book like this is absolutely essential. The 911 is one of those unique cars that comes in so many variations that it is almost impossible to know all the vital statistics of every variant. This Redbook distills the myriad of information out there into once concise source. If the 911 you are shopping for, isn't in the Redbook, then it probably isn't a 911!
