Congratulations.
Pretty sure the conversion happened in '94.

Default Correct Options

My apologizes to Olman as I was misread VIN and copied wrong information yesterday. Here is correct information regarding the car from 928OC.

VIN Number WP0AA2922PS820063
1993.L 928 GTS U.S. 0003

Production Number
Number 3 out of 102 produced for 1993.L 928 GTS U.S. market

M28.50
A28.18

M058 Impact Absorbers - Front and Rear
I130 Control and Indicators in English Lettering
I218 License brakets front and rear
I239 Change of tyre manufacture on production line (Porsche Master List)
M249 Automatic Transmission
I323 Sticker, without ESE-R regulations
I331 Radio, Porsche CR-1
I403 Cast Aluminum Wheel, "Cup"* 7.5 x17 front, 9 x 17 rear
M418 Side Protection Moldings
I423 Box for Cassettes and Coins
M437 Comfort Seat - Left * - Electrically Adjustable
M438 Comfort Seat - Right * - Electrically Adjustable
I464 Without compressor and tire pressure gauge
M474 Shock Absorber (SPORTING) Front and Rear
M484 Symbols and Insignias for Switches and Instruments - USA
I537 Seating Position Control for Comfort Seat - Left
M553 Version for USA, Canada
I562 Airbag - Driver's Side and Front Passenger's Side
I567 Windshield Tinted, Upper Part Darker Colored
I570 Air Conditioner with Improved Efficiency (Rear A/C)
M573 Air Conditioner
I586 Lumbar support - Left Seat
I595 Rear Spoiler with Color of Car
I602 ???
M650 Electrical Sliding Roof
I692 CD-Changer "Porsche CD C-1"
I912 Vehicle without identification plate

If I am reading correctly, it looks like this car was a first for some options on the 1993.L 928 GTSs such as I218 (front and rear license plate brackets) and I331 (Radio, Porsche CR-1). It was the second car with options I464, M484 and M553.

Also, does anyone know what option I602 is, it was blank on 928OC.

Thanks!

Thanks, I am going by what owner told me as I specifically asked cause I wasn't sure of the date. I do have a receipt from 1998 that shows new compressor, o-rings, expansion valve, dryer and all new hoses so thought that might be when the conversion took place. Either way, it works well!

602 could be "araised stop lamp". Ref: https://www.928gt.com/t-928codes.aspx

Just curious from your other post, does it have the original CR-1 radio and CD-1 player or a Sony from the dealer? You'd be surprised what CR-1s and CD-1s go for now (if it does have them.) You'd be about $2K ahead if it has them.

That's interesting about the 464 code for not including the tire compressor. I would have thought that was standard for a collapsible tire.

It does have the CD-1 changer in the back but the CR-1 head unit is gone. That's probably one of the things I would like to put back since it was the 1st to have it. Interestingly enough, the front license plate bracket is still there and in perfect shape, not bent at all!

Haven't looked at this one in a while, congrats to the new owner!

Curious about the statement "It suffered TBF at 96,000 miles and was rebuilt by Reeves Porsche in Tampa". Is there a way to repair TBF damage, seems it's always discussed here as a fatal condition that requires engine replacement?

Here is paragraph from the repair bill. Also have about 3 pages of parts and services. Heads and valves were sent out for "reconditioning".

So maybe the thrust bearing turning damaged the crank but not the block and they could repair with new crank & etc?

Washed and all tucked away until I can get to DMV and get her licensed. As soon as we get some good light I will add some more pictures.

"Thrust bearing turned in the block." So what about the block? Please.

I'm pretty sure I recognize that stack of new rims...

Can't wait to see that set mounted on the new beast...
