Default Year & month of manufacture

What would be the best/easiest way to find out when my 928 GTS '92 was manufactured (year and month)? VIN is WPOZZZ92ZNS800551

N=1992 but what month? (Need to know for importation into US.)

First day of registration was May 4, 1992.

Can't find the sticker (Driver's door frame?) which is supposed to state this.

Thanks.

MN

That's about right based on VIN. Only way to know when it was actually made is to get CoA from Porsche.

That's because ROW cars do not have it.

Should be right on the sticker in your door jamb. Was the sticker removed? (Painted car?)

My 86 has a plate at the front LH saying Built Date Jan 86

Sorry for poor picture but it is dark and cold outside. This plate is on an Australian delivered car and it may be a compliance import issue, not sure if on all cars.

Any Porsche dealer should be able to tell you the exact day that your car was produced, from the VIN.

Just phoned to my Porsche dealer. Any one of them can have the same information. Of course, they prefer to give these to the owner of the car, but I have a very good relationship with mine.

I don't want to upset him with too many phone calls, so would prefer if you try with yours first
