PET (the Porsche parts program that has VIN lookup) that some of us have drawn data from, amongst many other sources, has some data missing and some errors. The VIN decode program, referenced here as a link on Rennlist, would draw data from the same server and therefore see the same error we see. The data error for your car means we can note the error, but the Porsche database will still list it that way.

Welcome,
Here is the official thread for this kind of request:
https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...n-78-79-a.html
and sorry, we can't find anything for the 1978/1979 928s.
You have to ask your Porsche importer for a certificate of authenticity. First, have a look at the engine, gearbox and body numbers to confirm them.
I can only tell you that you own a RoW 1978 928.

Hi Guys, I have the same issue of the options sticker being missing and was puzzling over how to find out these things. I am based in the UK and to the best of my knowledge my car is a 928 built and registered in 1982, Guards Red with black leather interior with pasha inserts ( wow very retro funky!!)
My VIN is WPOZZZ92ZC5800351
and doesn't want to work in the decoder at all.
Engine code is M28.10 4,5L 8 1982 Porsche 928 M249 (177Kw / 241Hp) 80C5001 >> 8000
Colour sticker is 027 92 g1
All information provided would be gratefully received
