Default My car is now of legal age...

This month, my 944 NA turns 21. The last numbers in my VIN are ...453250.

Are there any other 10/85 build date 944's around?

Oh yeah, same with my car. Its a 10/85 turbo. Vin: 151720

I'd say something to the extent of I should go buy some alcohol for it, but I don't want to kill the engine. lol

If you look under the hood by the fuse box there is a placard that shows the build date. In the image I've posted (apologies for the blurry pic) in the upper right you will see "West Germany" and after this will be the build date.

You did not miss her 21st birthday, you have five months to plan it. March might make a good time to plan a party...invite some friends, buy some beer, start up the BBQ, and treat the 21 year old to a makeover.
