BTW...the car is an 1987 model- all the way. But an Eastern Bloc Euro?

Lets see!

There was a thread somewhere here on rennlist.
I don't know if it was forum 70(this one) or 72(Turbo forum)

Gotta love the pictures though!

Did you check the VIN to see if the claims were correct? It sounds like a plausible story, but that VIN is the key to find out when it was made.

The "H" in the VIN (plus the airbags and 968 wheels) suggest that it's an 87 model. Maybe this was a prototype for the 87 model -- still very cool!

I'm sure the vehicle's manufacture date is still 1986 -- that'd be on the sticker under the hood. Maybe that's why the owner thinks it's an 86 model.

The H in the VIN indicates it is a MY 1987 car. It is also a very early production version for that year with serial # 00008.

EDIT: Joe's got it.

The car was posted before and people pointed out all sorts of issues which pretty much debunked alot of the stuff in the description IIRC.

Very nice, especially the pinstripe seats!

Uumm, why blank out the plates but give you the VIN?

what would be the effect of having a 4 - 1 header instead of a 4-2-1? less restrictions in the airflow? wouldnt that be more complex to balance out correctly vs the 4-2-1?
