WPO =Porsche, West Germany
AB0 = VDS code
91 = Porsche type number, 91=911, 93=930
9 = Test digit
F = Model year, B=1981, K=89, F=85
S = Manufacturering Location, S= Stuttgart
1 = 3rd digit of type number, 1=911, 0=930
2 = Body and engine code, for US cars 2=Coupe, 6=Targa, 7=Cabriolet, ROW 0=Coupe, 4=Targa, 5=Cabriolet

1004 = Consecutive Serial number.

Your car is an 85 US coupe.

Hope this helps,
Tom
