It is our intent to make this chassis registry the most accurate reference
anywhere in the world. We know, however, that this registry will be a
living work, not just an archive, that will evolve as the often complex
historical facts of these wonderful and rare machines present themselves.
It also must be noted that determining the definitive history of most
917s is extremely difficult. When these wonderful cars were raced, the
chassis was often treated like any other expendable component on the race
car. Often, worn or damaged chassis were returned to the factory which
in turn would 'refurbished' by removing the chassis plate and putting
it onto a new chassis. Salvageable chassis were then occasionally 'recycled',
to emerge as a spyder or other derivitive. To further complicate matters,
the multicar teams sometimes moved chassis plates between cars to avoid
burdensome import/export paperwork between events.
In our sleuthing, we will use any credible source and balance the conclusions
as fairly and accurately as possible. We fully appreciate that there will
be disputes as to the history of some chassis numbers and welcome any
additional background, corrections, and/or updates that you might have
to submit.

Finally, a special thanks to Andrea Dolermo of DVA Dolermo Models who
provided much of the research presented in this registry. We would also
be remiss if we did not pay tribute to the work of Gerry Sutterfield whose
research published the 1991 Vintage Motorsport issues 3 and 4 represented
a landmark in the documentation of Porsche 917s and their history.
