Thumbs up So, who has an earlier VIN...

Not to be outdone by a 924 homo wink,wink.

...than my XXX"050"!! This came up a while ago and I'm assuming my car is the 50th produced. I have also completed exhaustive research disprooving that the first 50 cars were built with elfen labor!

AznDrgn had a VIN from an '83 built in 82. Don't remember the exact # though. My '83 was in the 7 or 800's IIRC built in '83

So what was the build date on yours?

Nobody?? I mean, I don't mind taking the destinction of the earliest 944 here on the board! I guess the next step is posting on the "other" sites and PCA to find an earlier car. There have to be a couple out there that are just pristine.

2/83 build for my 944...nowhere near the first, unless you look at the whole 944 line.

I think it had a VIN ending in 3xxx....

porschefig, #2166 is pretty good. I guess all the dealer models that went out before customers car's were delivered would push the serial sequence back a little.

Good one CT, what do you mean had? Is the car still on the road? My build date is 8/82.
