Yes, this is my car when I ran it on Ebay several years back. Is the production number 1935?
What does that mean?

Depends on what you mean by 'that'.

It's an '86.5 (serial#>1000), so it has the updated suspension, brakes, floorpan, electrics, abs, exhaust, etc. that S4s inherited.

It's the GTS of OBs! Top of the line. After this model, they broke the mold.

yes it is............. I see it appears you have the door jam sticker, it should be on there.. you can also order a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), or Cardex (Birthcertificate) from Porsche, either of these will give you the "official" production date

ps... is this your car?

The salvage title is hurting your sale. Also, the fact that the car has been in West Virginia , Orlando, Colorado , Utah and Austin, Texas during your ownership doesn't inspire confidence in bidders.
