Default Slant nose option 928?

Looking at the NADA book on line, under classic cars when you select the 928 and go to select which year to look up the value of it gives you the option of checking "Slant Nose Option"
Is there such a thing?

The 964 Turbo is a 1990-1995 (including the 3.6) turbo with a "normal" nose.

The 964 Turbo S had 968 headlights that look similar to 928 lenses.

There was a white one (wide body) for sale here in the valley. It was a non turbo, and he said it was a 934 from the factory. I don't recall the year. I liked the look, very agressive

The 968 headlights are not that bad.

What you are talking about is another story

The model was introduced on short notice to U.S.A. dealers who were told that a special series of Flatnose cars would be built at the end of the Turbo 3.6 run. Customers were required to put up a $20,000 USD deposit after only seeing a photo of the prototype (unless they had attended the Los Angeles or Detroit auto shows that year). The story goes that there were 38 takers in the U.S.A. and at the wire Dave Strong's Porsche ordered a car (VIN 480466) which as it turned out was the very last single turbo production Porsche for the U.S.A. and the 39th Flatnose. In the end, three versions of the Flatnose were built as well as a U.S.A. delivery only, non-Flatnose version of the Turbo S, called the 'Package'. The actual build numbers were 76 Flatnose cars (worldwide) and 17 non-Flatnose or Package cars

I want one...
