I've collected some info, but by no means definitive. Serial numbers start at 350001 for factory built bodies and 450001 for Karmann. I own 350442, built July 22. The latest 350 series I have seen with a painted dash is 350553 and I have heard that the changeover to a black dash with brushed aluminum lower trim happened mid-August. Porsche was producing about 240 912's a month/8 cars a day back then so about 190 cars between July 22 and August 15 means about 630 factory-built 350 series cars. The only Karmann one I know of is 451233, which has been discussed here (was for sale at European Collectibles for a time), so close to 1233 Karmann's at least, allowing for transition. Hard to say without knowing a build date. So far we have 1293. How many are left? Hard to say, but I don't see them very often and I look.
