Nope, just that it was made really early in the 1980 MY, probably in the 1st week of production in the fall of '79.

Just for S&Gs, here are a couple of graphs of production numbers- these don't account for about 500 cars not included in the database so they're only accurate to ~1% or so.

Total production, US/Canada vs ROW, 1980-1995:

Thanks for the info. I get all geeked up about history and stats so I'm in heaven.

Samuel's data fills lots of the gaps, especially in '86. I've got 280 VIN's he didn't have either (Japanese VIN range), so I need to spend some time merging the two datasets, starting with calculating the missing check-digit to replace the _ from his USA VIN's so I can match records easily and avoid duplicates.

Not a 928, but a water-cooled car nonetheless
