944_S_TYPE

My "project car"

I can not make out the first option code due to a grease stain, but the other two are sunroof, and leather seats.
Why no other codes? I see on the decoder, options for USA spec, and the orig stereo, and other items I have.

first code looks to be C02, which is catalytic converter

Yeah, oddly enough, It is easier to see when blown up online than in person.
Thanks.

Yeah, my car only has a couple options as well. Raised sport steering wheel, upper tinted windshield, cassette tray.

That's What I thik is odd. Mine has the casette tray, tinted windshield etc. How did they decide what to put on the Option tag, and what would be considered Standard options?

My '87 has 4 options - radio, alarm, cruise, sunroof. Done.

Auto Atlanta's VIN decoder works magic:

This is a great representation of how you may have other non-listed options... For my car this is what it yields:

• Options listed on my tag:
o C76- Unknown?
o 018- Sports steering wheel with elevated 30mm hub
o 423- Box for cassettes and coins
o 567- Tinted windshield - upper darker

• Options under VIN search but not on tag
o 026- With activated charcoal canister
o 036- Front and rear bumper shocks
o 190- Increased side door strength
o 484- Version for USA
o 553- Version for Canada and USA
o 218- License plate brackets front and rear
o 566- White fog lights
o 912- Without vehicle identification plate
o 185- Safety belts 2 point rear automatic
o 434- Work instructions, cars for overseas
o 464- Without compressor and tire pressure gauge
o 576- No rear fog light

In green are what I'm pretty sure are factory standard for USA cars... Blue is what is special for my car (notice how mine was ordered without compressor and tire guage- not on label)... Red is what confused me How could my car have options for "Version for USA" AND "Version for Canada and USA"?? What does "without vehicle identification plate" mean, and was it standard??

Options are such a GREY AREA.
