Hello all, I am new to the site and this is my first posting. I am also new to Porsche as I am about to acquire my very first form my sister in-law. I am excited to get going, I have always wanted a Porsche 911. The car I am inquiring about has been sitting in my in-law’s yard for about 6 years and they know very little about it. Most of what I know it is as follows: 1992, 911 Coupe it is black in color and it is currently in a mechanics shop in Alaska (where my in-laws live) being inspected and have a few things fixed. I have contacted a Porsche dealer who was very little help in decoding the VIN or being able to tell me much about the car due to Porsche's data base and how long they maintain data. I have also spent a lot of time on the internet trying to decode the VIN with little success. Please help me with any information that you can about VIN #: WP0AB296XNS420202. Thanks from a new guy who is very excited to get going.

Well the first thing I will tell you is that you are in the wrong forum

But that's okay , that is understandable for a noob . You are looking at a 964 How they decode those VIN numbers may be different from what we ae used to in 10 digit VIN world.

wpo is germany produced
ab2 is coupe,usa,with airbags
96 means it is a 964 body style vs 930
x means didley
n means model year 92
s is manufacture location ( stutgart)
4 means 964 ( type 4 body style is 964 )
2 means usa coupe
0202 in consecutive chassis number

This info was taken from Petes book the used 911 story which we all highly recomend you purchase before going any further. it is a wealth of information.

Good luck with the hunt

Thanks for your help and quick response, I will move to the 964 forum>
