From what I have found is that 250 were delivered to the US in Satin Black Metallic and 250 in Zermatt Silver. They all have the funky plaid interior and split rear seats, turbo phonies and I guess a few of them were autos. A few members have them but how rare are they really? Mine is a 5 speed and I have some sort of velour seats that I have never seen before. I'm thinking they were recovered at some point since they are in good shape.
But yeah, any info would be greatly appreciated.

I rechecked the option code for celebration series. It was option code 757. 100cars to west ger. 250 to US.and 73 ROW.Production date was 7/87 to 8/87. This was for the satin black cars. I got this info from "The original porsche,924/944/968" by Peter Morgan. A somewhat pricey book but very informative.Btw. the book also states interior was available in" black,studio." Studio is a combination of the 2 if you include the seat backs.

Camelot...what does your VIN end with on your car? And what other options did your car come with other than 757?
