Default C36 89GT (89GT's from Canada)

All this talk about the CS 928 and the 89GT's in general got me thinking about one of the rarest of the rare Canadian spec 89GT's.
According to Rob E and his handy database, there are 15 total all optioned the same (see the 89 928GT thread : https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...gt-thread.html) with 8 having sport seats and 7 standard seats. I believe all came sans rear air (big plus) and they also had KM digital dashes (non-switchable to US) and celcius temp control. They also did not come with the day-time running "fogs" wired on.

Is there a list of all the c36 VIN's (production date etc)?

Were they produced across the run of 89GTs or all near the same time? (Not that there was a huge expanse of time -like 3 months)

Who here has one (or knows of one)?

I'll start with mine (one of the 8 with sport seats). Mine is a 3 owner originally from Toronto. Second owner brought it to California with him and that's where I got it back in 2002ish. Surprisingly nothing was modified when it came "across". Pic is in the avatar.

Feel free to chime in if you have one. Not looking expose any info folks feel uncomfortable with putting out on the "webs", but more of a data collection exercise to document these unique (in my mind anyway) 89GT's.

It looks like the thread is not getting many takers so I'll add that there were a few Canadian GTS's to keep it on the first page.

Mine is a 94 dual certified "Exhibition" model. One of 42 worldwide. A fairly insignificant model designation as it only means the car went through the exclusive department three times to add a few parts and perfect the paint, fit, finish.

Love it that the Canadian GT's almost all have sport seats...

I know one in Ottawa.
I did few coffee runs with him.
If I remember well, the owner told me that his son bought it new in Vancouver (or around there) and sold it to his father latter on.

I remember hearing of another one with sport seats, very low mile white with can can interior. Can you imagine can can sport seat .

Hoping Rob can make easy work of the VIN list with his database too.
