You lucked out - he already wrote back and said he was able to find more info on your car, but not as much as you'd hoped. Here is what he was able to dig out:

Rechnungsdatum war der 03.05.1991 für Deutschland C00
(Invoice date was May 3, 1991 for Germany C00)

Innen Lederausstattung nach Wahl
(Individual colored Leather Interior)

XF2 Instrumententräger Lederbezogen (Dash pod leather)
XG8 Heckspoiler in Wagenfarbe lackiert (Rear spoiler in body color!!!)
XK7 Schaltknopt Leder, Farbe nach Wahl (Shift **** in individual leather color)
XL4 Mittelkonsole Türverkleidung Wurzelholz (Center console and door panel burlwood)
XU1 Fernsteuerung für Zentralverriegelung (Remote control for power locks)
X26 Airbaglenkrad komplett lederbezogen (Airbag steering wheel completely leather covered)
139 Sitzheizung links (Heated seat left)
328 Radio Blaupunkt Symphony SQR4
340 Sitzheizung rechts (Heated seat right)
538 Sitzpositonssteuerung für Sitz rechts (Seat memory right)
567 Frontscheibe mit Grünkeil (Windshield with dark green upper tint)
650 Schiebedach (Sunroof)
980 Sitzbezüge vorne Raffleder (Front seats in supple leather - why not rear seats???)

Hey, now we know more about your car than I know about mine! That's unfair - how are you going to make up for that???


Let's give my friend a break for a little while, OK?

Gretch

I have an 89 GT with an option code 046, which I have never been able to discern......any ideas?

Cameron

Nicole,

WOW! Thanks for the info! Every little piece helps. The rear spoiler is in the same color as the car. I thought that it must have been painted after the fact. As with the Porsche N.A. certificate of authenticity, they don't actually list all of the option codes that the car has. Interesting though that your friends VIN search is much more comprehensive than Porsche of NA. Still only about half of them, but many of the other codes have already been deciphered.

Too bad he doesn't have / can't get records for who from the factory was driving the car for year 1. That would be worth a bottle of fine wine for you and one for your friend. Worth a try?

About the other info, I do truly appreciate your help. I will have to go back to your website and invest in some Porsche 928 products. Next week when I get back into the country. Win win for you and me!

Thanks again, Nicole.

Hi Cameron:

What country are you in these days? I guess it's not Germany...

I'm very curious about this one: Are only your front seats supple leather, or all of them?

FANTASTIC JOB Nicole
Can't tell you how valuable this is but I'm sure you know anyway. I had been told that my C26 was Singapore. Do you know why there are parallel codes for the same countries?

I have no idea, but if Singapore cars use the same code, my guess would be that Singapore might be too small of a market to have its own code. Mandy just wrote that right hand drive cars are required over there - same as in your country. Maybe the rest of the equipment is the same also - I really don't know at this point.

Cameron

Nicole,

I was in Barbados and St. Lucia for business. The car is in Florida.

The back seats appear to be supple leather as well. They don't have the perforations in the leather and they appear 'pillowy' as well.

There is a whole bunch of other option codes, most of the others are known. Do you want the whole list?

Thanks,

Cameron

Cameron

On the Besitzer des Fahrezeuges list, the first listing is

Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche

No, don't need the list. It's not my car...

The phone number given there for Porsche is outdated. They changed it to 911-0 in the meantime.

marton

Hi,

Are you familiar with this list of option codes? It says that it is a 901/911 list but I understand the M list starting on page 5 is common to all Porsche models inc. 928, also country codes, etc are the same. It is a "wide document" so make sure that you set adobe small enough so you can see both columns


http://www.adrianstreather.com/docs/Options.pdf

according to that list
980 Seat cover ruffled leather
981 All leather lining
982 Soft leather look seats
983 Leather seats front and rear

321 Radio CR-22

Gretch

Thank you, Marton.

low miler

046, 046, 046! What in the heck is 046? It's off of a '90 GT.

marton

Hi Gretch,

Pleasure, BTW off that list
639 928 GT

Boring answer.....

marton

Nicole, what about C06? Believe it's not listed anywhere on the web.

C06 French colonies

When did you steal Finland back from the french

Cameron

Hmm. That build sticker says 928 910. Mine says 928 940. What is the significance of the number that follows the '928'. Is it somehow year dependent?
