Default ***HELP*** DECODING

Ive got a 1985 911 with 28,000 miles. Ive recently looked at the option tag and found that there is only one option listed ( co2 ). This car is loaded with goodies and none of them are mentioned on the code tag. I did notice that there is a line that reads TYP / TYPE 911 340. Does anyone know what the 340 means? See pic. Thanks in advance.

What are these options that your car is loaded? Maybe they are standard and not options.

C02 = means your car has cat.

No idea what 340 is, but I wouldn't say the car is "loaded". Heated seats are the only option that you wouldn't see many cars with in the '85 vintage.

there's a crap load of options on this car. Look at window sticker in my previous post. Im puzzled because the tag doesn't show any of the codes. Maybe the 340 is a pkg and the c02 wasnt part of the pkg.

What was the full list of options available on the 911 in your model year? Is what your car has the entire list of available options? If so, I'd say it's loaded.

I did. But I also know that Porsche's are offered with a ton of options...I don't know if what you have is the full list so I was just wondering what the available options were back then.
