Hmm, time to get a certificate of authenticity from Porsche. That will definitively resolve your questions.

From others results these COAs aren't a always correct. COAs don't match the window stickers in some cases. YMMV

Do the options on your sticker (listed below) match the configuration of the car?
If not then the rear panel was almost certainly replaced at some point.

Option 404 would NOT be on the sticker for a 951. F/R stabilizers were a standard no-extra-cost equipment across the model.
My 1985.2 944 NA does have option 404 on the sticker and has F/R bars, while standard equipment for NA was a front stabilizer bar only.

341 - Central Locking
404 - Stabilizer Bars Front and Rear
426 - Special Model World Champion 1976 1978
454 - Automatic Speed Control
650 - Electric Sunroof
946 - Partial Leather Front Seats

Agree, but the question at hand is how did the sticker in the hatch get there, when the car is a 951 and there is no evidence anywhere of having a rear end sectioned and put onto this car. It clearly doesn't match the vin tag in the A pillar. So nothing on that sticker applies to the car.

I dont have the original front seats as the interior has the LT color, like cream and black. The seats that came with it are partial leather but brown or mocha.. the lower back set is there and is the factory color, dont have the upper part yet..
has passenger power lock.
has electric sunroof
Has cruise control, dont know about the rest..
whoever repainted this was a hack with overspray on the fog lenses and I can even see the remnants of the turbo sticker glue under the paint.. lol I picked up a turbo emblem on ebay and was gonna ask the group for measurements on where it goes, but I guess I know now.. lol
The sticker in the back and Porches own color code reference are the only outliers, when i get it running maybe I'll try for the CA and see what happens.. the car is def a turbo, every heat shield, everything I have pulled off part wise that is 951 specific has 951 in the part number.. someone would have gone through great great lengths to do something fishy with it.
(hint hint.. i have another thread on some DME AFM woes in the turbo forum thats not getting any love need some experts help!! )

Run a carfax on the vin on the sticker.
