That VIN is for a '78 Euro, PET only has the option codes from '80 to 95. Maybe Jim Doerr has additional info on this ol' beastie?

Harvey, was Porsche able to get you a COA? If not, I could make you one (obviously less official).

Its a base model '78, so the options are pretty simple.

Also, if you would like more documentation for #579, you could get a sustitute bond release from the NHTSC. However, you have the original import paperwork, so its really not needed.

Thnx Rob, cool car..
Btw is it also possible to see when this car was Stroseked ?

So I've since learned. Bollocks.

Yes - its got a metal section which moves the wheel about 1 1/4" towards the driver. It helps if you're tall and have to lean right back to avoid the roof, at least as an interim measure until you can find a non-sunroof 928 to buy.

Talking of which, I should see if anyone local wants an extended hub steering wheel in good condition.. I have no use for it :D

Wow, thanks for taking the time, Viluer. Indeed a curious list. I don't have any (gold?) Porsche script but do have fully-powered driver and passenger seats. Weird. Also, does the rather vague light metal wheel option refer to dials, dishes or both?

Finally, I've always been struck by the seemingly odd interior color scheme. I have what I describe as "chocolate" leather everywhere (seats, pillars, headliner, door interiors, complete dash treatment etc.--basically a full leather interior); I also have a black pod with color-matched steering wheel and to boot this burgundy carpeting throughout save the piped carpeted area (brown) that separates the front and rear brown leather consoles. Was hoping to get some more info about determining my interior color codes. Anyone??

Anyway, thanks so much, Vilhuer.

The VIN tag on the A-pillar under the windshield is the country-specific VIN, so the JB0 is the VBS-code for a US/Canada -spec car. I'm guessing the WP0ZZZ number you list is the one from the passenger side fender in the engine compartment?

Mine is missing original steering wheel and Radio. Although it has style 90 wheels on it. Was that an option as well??

Design 90 wheels weren't an option in '88. My understanding is they were standard starting on '90 GT's and were optional on '90 S4's.

OUHH.. duhh..that's why style90! Sorry for my dumb question.

Nope, that's only 15 numbers, and no letters. Sometimes one can narrow down an incorrect/incomplete VIN using the last 5 and the YOM letter, but not in this case.

Shoot a picture of your A-pillar VIN tag and post it. Or e-mail to roberte01@gmail if you can't post here.

Here are the 85-95 VIN digit decoders. Note that VINs contain no letter O's, only number zeroes. Of course that didn't stop the guy who typeset the '85-89 Tech specs book from getting that wrong, but they fixed it in '90:

Could this be Greg Nettles' car? Is this car a 5 speed?

Dan, was wondering the same thing myself, but wasn't Greg's car an '87? Or was "Blown 87" a C4 Corvette? Can't remember now.

Interesting that for 85-89, Japanese cars had their own serial numbers, but not in '90.

I have a '90 from Japan: WP0ZZZ92ZLS840164 - so #164 in the ROW series. It does have the option code C08 for Japan. In comparing it to earlier Japanese cars it does not have the fender add-ons, steering wheel horn-sticker, etc. so it looks like there were fewer differences required.

The wikipedia page on VIN tech is quite the history lesson, lots of different standards over time and place.

I could send it via email.

No problem, shoot me an e-mail at the gmail address a couple of posts above with any pics you may have, I'll try to decipher and post. Now that I know it's a '92 Euro GTS, there's only so many VINs it could be.

I have no options?
do I have a "off the shelf" model?
I know I have LSD, so was LSD standard for a A/T?

Thank you, but also interesting is, according to the info in the Warranty/Maintenance book, the original owner took possession 7-30-86
what does factory pick up mean exactly?

Means that the buyer traveled to Germany and took delivery at the factory.

^WOW, Thanks Rob, makes it even 'cooler', Always been a local 928. (except for the Germany part):thumbup:

For what it's worth, I count 835 U.S. 928s with the tourist delivery option, between 1980 and 1995.

... and just to add a bit more trivia, that equates to about 5% of total US cars (16465) ... which is a reasonable percentage and a bit more than I would have expected.

Good morning Rob, did you received my email on my GTS? I did send it a couple days ago.

Thx, Richard

Hi Richard-

Oops, clearly I'm not checking the gmail account regularly enough... :icon501:


First, thanks for the pics, that interior is frickin' gorgeous- time capsule.....

Second, I played with the VIN sticker pic in photoshop for a while and can't make out the complete number.

What I can make out is WP0ZZZ92LS542???, the last 3 are illegible.

Below that is the engine and trans number, which is M2842-81L-A2816.

All of which tells me that this is a 1990 Euro S4 automatic.

Let me know if it's ok for me to post the two pics you sent, and perhaps others can read the tea leaves as well.

What would also help to narrow down what it is, is to eliminate what it's not.

If you post a full description of all the options you actually see on the car, it will allow us to rule out some possible VINS, which have options you don't have, and narrow the possibilities down.

Here's Richard's VIN decal (below)

I see 139, 328, 340, 567, 650, 935, and 980.

That limits it to one of 4 VINs, ending in 131, 315, 528, and 627.

So Richard's must be WP0ZZZ92ZLS842131.

Still makes it a '90 Euro S4, not a GTS, though his avatar pic looks an awful lot like a GTS....

Agree thats what it looks like to me.

Of course, Richard could just go look on the front-right side of the engine bay to read the VIN tag on the frame just under the cutout in the front right body panel.

A few cars have shown up in Europe with factory rear quarters.. there's one LHD which cropped up a few years ago which has Gerhard Berger as a PO; also a 1990 with factory GTS quarters. But the 1990's are most likely post-sale addons.

There are at least a couple of 1991's which were given GTS quarters to help sell them off the dealer floors.

Hilton, as of right now i am still in the US and my GTS is in germany. I can not just run over and have a look! Just came across this tread on the VIN numbers and had my S4 checked by Rob. That's way i thought he could check on the GTS as well. Unfortenatly i can not remember the VIN out of my head.

Rob- I do remember the engine code is M28-50. What does that say to you? ;)

Rich

M28.50 says GTS automatic. But I'm so confused as to which sticker and which VIN is from which car on which continent that I'm not even sure of that any more. :)

AAAARGHHHH! ;)) Slow down now. The sticker is from my blue GTS as shown in my avatar and pics i send you. THAT ONE IS A GTS! No doubts about it! We only have to figger the VIN or stop right here uuntill i go to D!

You are killing me guy's!! How in the world would this sticker get into my car??

Very good question- I wouldn't lose much sleep over it till you can get back to the car and shoot some more pics of the A-pillar VIN tag, the chassis tag on the right side front fender just in front of the coolant reservoir, the VIN sticker that should be somewhere on the first couple of pages of the warranty book, etc.

Here's a pic of Richard's car in Germany, pretty convincing 92-93 Euro GTS, from the looks of it.

https://webfiles.uci.edu/redwards/pu...%201-21-14.jpg

There is no A-pillar VIN tag on ROW, thats a US DOT thing (like the VIN sticker on the door jamb showing production year/month).

The one in the cutout of the front right wing (fender) at the side of the engine bay is there for all and is the one on the actual frame of the car, so is most reliable.

There is possibly also an aluminium tag riveted just near the bonnet (hood) latch for the German market (UK cars have - not sure on EU).

Thanks Dave, yes you are correct, I had 2 numbers back to front.

C08- LHD Japanese

M462- Sekuriflex windshield

I567- Tinted upper windshield

BTW, the 928 Legend iPhone app has a option code decoder in it! :D

I think there should be A-pillar tag at least on all EU GTS if not all ROW GTS. I'm not sure when it was started but at least some early S4 don't have it so it was some time in between.

Its true that there is no door jamb sticker other than color code sticker in at least most ROW market cars. Definitelly not in EU cars.

It should be in EU cars. Its not in Japanise for example so its ROW market specific if it needs to be there or not. In Swiss cars its different specific to that market alone version what was possibly put in by local importer.

^^^
Here are all the VIN tags on my 95 GTS. One on the left (passenger side) A pillar, one on the right front wing (fender), and an Australian compliance plate near the hood latch, together with the build date tag. The only other info is on the right (drivers side) door jamb, which is a sticker with colour and interior codes. Edit: plus the sticker near the wheel well with VIN and option codes.

Cool build date tag, Dave! I thought that the metal VIN plate next to the hood latch was a pre-S4 thing, like this tag from the Holbert car:

https://webfiles.uci.edu/redwards/pu...2010-16-09.jpg

It has to be in all EU cars. Those kg numbers are part of registration requirements. All '78-95 originally registered in any EU country must have it.

The Australian plate certifies compliance with design rules, which cover such things as emissions, lighting, safety, etc., and must be fitted to every car sold.

I would appreciate info on

92a0821076

Thank You!

92a0821076 is one of those VINs that doesn't show up in the database. I have come across a couple of instances of this, a few in the '89 MY, and a block of U.S. '85 cars that are 'missing'- Rob Rossitto's old car is one of those.

Sorry I don't have it!

I'd appreciate the option info on my VIN:

I haven't been lucky enough to ride in many other 928s, but I think I have a leather interior option?

Thanks!

Rob, 92a0821076 does show up in the list. A = 1980. Its in PET at 17 digit format WP0ZZZ92_A0821076. This one do not have any options listed. All what is known is its German car with manual gearbox.

If you find some unknown VIN's it would be good to know. It might be possible to fill in gaps.

Vilheur,
We're missing info on this '89:

CountryCode EngineCode GearboxCode OrderCode FullCountryCode Option Codes


Thanks,
Bill

Reason why I even mentioned M438 Porsche script on doors gold instead of M438 Comfort seat right is that option list don't include M437 Comfort seat left. I would expect there to be left seat code also if right seat is included. Unless left power seat was standard for '82 MY. Which could be possible for US cars. One possibility is that M438 means Porsche script on doors gold for '80-81 MY and Comfort seat right for '82 and later MY. If this is the case there were only 27 cars which had gold Porsche text under door from factory and just 2 of them were US model. In any case M438 has multible meanings. It was possible to get left power seat without right one in ROW cars up to '84 MY.

I believe M401 means 7x16 flat disk wheels. Very common option on '80-82 4.5L cars.

You managed possibly find latest VIN missing from the master list. I have known all the time that there are some VIN's missing but I didn't expect it to be this bad. Certain MY Japanise cars were expected but not so many '85-86 US cars. '86 vs '86½ hole 0938-1000 has been known but even it can be smaller.

There has to be even more Japanise '83 MY lost somewhere. Can't believe there would have been only two sold in that MY.

Vilhuer,
Do these missing VINs mean that the VIN was never issued, or that their are no records available for those VINs?

It at least means that we don't have info. Possibly that Porsche don't have info either. Maybe that many of those cars were never made. Its probably combination of all three possibilities. All we can do is to try to find missing data.

If someone would provide me with info regarding the following, I'd appreciate it: WP0JB2920LS860245

This car is 33 cars older than my '90 GT, which was born on 1/10/90. By any chance is there a 'born on' date on the VIN sticker in ther driver's side door jamb? I'd be interested to know the date.

Thanks, Rob. IIRC, the car was made in February of 1990. When I get the car back from the shop, I'll try to verify the exact date.

Thank you Rob!

Just saw this post for info was missed .....

Details on the sticker are accurate, but the option blacked out is M220, which is limited slip diff. I can't understand why someone would take an LSD out. It's worth physically checking to see if your car still has the LSD.

Other info

Motor: M28.41

650 .. Sunroof.

Dave

Thanks for the look up.

We have it off the ground and did the wheel spin, when we first got it up, just to check, no indication of an LSD, with this information I'll now have to look closer perhaps the clutches are worn out.

If there isn't an LSD it becomes even more intriguing. If the delete was done at the factory, you'd think they would have printed a new sticker, if the delete was done by a PO, they were very thorough to black out the code in the manual.

The sticker in the car is harder to read, but I'll check if it is blacked out as well.

Is there anything else that I can learn about the interior, it is somewhat different from the other 928s that I've seen either in person or in pictures.

Thanks again for the help.

Lance

So early '90 MY should be December 1989 or close to it. Definitelly long before February.

First thing to check under car is stamping under differential.

What specifically should I look for?

I've reviewed
https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...ited-slip.html

The only stamping I can find is on the bottom edge of the casing flange, right against the differential cover. On one side G2812 is stamped in, which is different from the G2813 that the VIN describes, on the other is 00507 which I assume is a serial number. It would be interesting to know the history of the tranny.

Reviewed some more, went under with a copper brush and raised a 1 K right in the middle, if what I've read is correct that means the car has an open dif.

thanks,

Lance

G2812 1K 00507 is 7th manual gearbox made for '89 MY.

His VIN is this:

WP0JB0921JS860336

Interesting that the transmission is a K-year one ('89). Factory swap? Early warranty work?

... or maybe the original owner didn't like the characteristics of an LSD when driving in wet/snowy conditions and asked them to take it out ... although you would think they would just swap the spool if that was the case. Warranty work you would think they would just replace parts/the whole box and leave it LSD. It'd be interesting to the get the story from the original owner.

I've sent an email to the PO, hopefully I'll get a response, certainly is a riddle. If i get a chance I'm going to pull the cover off to see if the dif is open, or worn out LSD.

Buy a $15 USB borescope from Ebay, and run it through the fill plug hole. Much easier than pulling the cover, replacing its gasket, etc...

Good idea on the scope, funny thing is I own a remote camera probe and didn't think to use that.

Thanks

Do you own the car, or just looking at it? Googling that VIN brings up

Looks like a nice car from here...

I was just looking and wondering if that was the 4th car made

The 4th car made would be 9288100014.

well it is in Honolulu which makes it a little harder to get a hold of.

Just a general question about option codes
 

My 89 still has the sticker in the rear compartment but the option codes don't start with an 'M'.

The codes are:

C02 158 220
418 570 650
04601 05821

I think it means:

C02: Rest of US
158: Blau Reno radio
220: Locking diff (40%)
418: Side moldings
570: Rear A/C
650: Sunroof

Does anyone know what the 04601 and 05821 means?

Thank you Rob! That was quick! Might you be able to explain to me what "M319- Changed setup of fan" means?

M319 = smaller fan pulley (86 mm diameter), which requires a 20" fan belt. I think the intent was either for warmer climates, and/or for cars with rear A/C.

Thanks so much!

It's a warmer climate option, which gives slightly higher fan speed. I have M319 option as 'additional engine cooling for hot climate countries'. Australian early cars commonly have it ... my '82 does.

I'm interested in finding out my cars option codes.

Only at front. Rear had them early on.

Rob thx! This is great intel that isn't even on the window sticker to my surprise. I was hoping you'd say LSD but alas , I'm stoked anyway. The more I sort through it, the more cool stuff I find. Just discovered the H4 headlamps which from reading threads are an upgrade? Or euro? Also the borla cat back I like. Cup (?) rims, check. Rub strip delete. What/where is the paint code? The car has been resprayed but it seems to have been red originally.

I am a new owner of the 928, and new to the Porsche world :)

The car was owned by a single owner all these years, he bought it when he was in US, and shipped it to Dubai when he moved here.

So from the VIN and the details you have mentioned above, what do you think about the car? The car registration copy mentions that it is 1982 928S, so I am assuming this is a 4.7L, not sure of the bhp and other technical details. It is also a 5 speed manual transmission.

Any further details would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Dan

Its '82 MY US model so it must have 4.5L engine if its still original. M28/15 engine is rated 220 SAE Net hp @ 5500 rpm. Torque is 265 ft.lb which is 348 Nm @ 4000 rpm. Competition group option makes it look like S but its mechanics are still non S version like all 78-82 MY US cars. Other than brakes which were same as in S in all '82 MY cars.

Thanks Vilhuer, much appreciated :)

How about mine?

Dan-

Unfortunately I can only do 1980-1995 928's, as that is the date range for which PET has the option codes. Sorry about that!

Guess I should have started reading at post #1 and stopped at #2 before getting excited.

Oh well.

16" wheels

I bet that would be the entire list of options.

Did rub strips come on the '78? I don't have them.

Interesting only the left seat is heated.

I thought the lack of the 928 decal on the back was due to a rear cover repaint.

I bought this car late 2012 with the engine out due to a broken timing belt. Lots of boxes of parts.

The LH coding plug is what makes it 300hp.. easy enough to plug in a different one and make it the same as a RoW S4 :)

Is that more power Hilton? As it is its got plenty of beans!

Still 20hp less than it could have by simple coding plug change. Only reason to leave it original is if local fuel is still as bad as it was in 1987.

I have an early vin number if anyone can decode it. The car is painted black now but in some areas under the hood it almost looks really dark brown. But since it's a rep ain't the sticker in the jamb is gone of course.

Hmm. There's no 928 with that VIN number. Looks like it would be a 1995 911. I'm afraid I can't run option codes on 911's.

Interesting little tidbit on that VIN here, looks like it took a trip from Japan to the Phillipines in 2007:

Hi everyone. My apologies if this isn't Kosher but I don't know any other resource as helpful as this one to ask this question.

I am looking at an Audi S6 Avant Quattro wagon that has 104K on it with 3 previous owners that all check out as investment banker types thus hopefully not a beater. But I would like the ENTIRE service history not just the bogus warranty data.

Does anyone know who or where I can get this from? Willing to pay for it to save myself some agony.

Rob, Thanks!

Thank you Rob. The interior is red and blue with a leather headliner. Current owner says this is the "Laguna Seca" edition. Ever hear of that?

Nope, never heard of such an edition, not from the factory. Weissach, Jubilee, Kenwood, SE, Clubsport, yes. Laguna Seca? No.

I have a 87 s4 with the option M150 which suppose to be no catalyst and being able to run with leaded gas, my question is what exactly is this option? what is different, missing or added to the car when this option is selected?? I would imagine it should have no O2 sensor or catalyst converter because neither can run on leaded gas without being damage but my car has both along with the air pump.

Air pump should still be there. It just pumps into cylinder heads exhaust side instead of converter. Converter and lambda sensor should not be installed.

Hmm, this.is going to take some investigating cause my air.pump dumps are into the cats not the.cylinder head..maybe my car has been worked on and these parts installed at a dealer at some point cause it's been in california and there is no way couldve passed inspection to get on the road and also my car was shipped to france for a couple years..maybe they had to install it.before it was alllowed to re-enter states...another question, for it to operate without an 02 sensor or cats does the ecu have a different program to run it?

I just drove my new '87 S4 home! Will you check my options please?

Rob,

Would you have access to info for a 2001 911 and a 2011 Cayenne?

Apologies, I can only do 928s from 80 to 95.

There was a time when PET 7.1 and 7.2 allowed lookups on any Porsche but obviously that is no longer the case. Wish I'd saved a non-networked PC with one of those old configurations. Oh well.

Yes. There is coding plug which tells ECU's what map they should use.

That wouldn't do much good since Porsche changed their server setup and old client software simply cannot get data anymore.

Thanks Vihuer, maybe I am reading the option tag wrong and I don't have M150 cause I got all the emissions stuff like I said with the air pump dumping into the cat under the drivers seat and not the heads, so here goes my VIN Rob.... WP0JB0922HS862039

[QUOTE=biturbomax;11305121]Hi thank you.
I have some questions:

[QUOTE=biturbomax;11305121]No limited slip dif ???
No option code for LSD (220), so unless someone fitted it after the car left the factory, no.

Interior spec isn't apparent from the data from PET, except for whether the seats are raff leather (vs. standard perforated), and any exclusive option codes.

I think you mean the leather seam on the passenger side of the console (see pic below)? If so, your car probably has a full leather interior - do you have a leather dashboard with stitching, along with leather-stitched door handles etc?

There may be a 5-digit code at the end of the option sticker in the rear of the car - PET lookup for VIN doesn't show those codes.

I'm not sure what the 686 radio option is - but on my '87, the lack of an option for hifi amplifier is because the car has 4 speakers, hidden behind perforated panels like on the early cars. One in each door, and one in each quarter panel behind the front seats.

No sunroof, 5-speed :thumbup:

Some day we need to figure out what option 046 is. Drives me crazy...

Rob: when I'm attending the Euro 928 meeting in Leipzig and we are doing the Leipzig Porsche factory tour, I will ask from as many Porsche employees till I hopefully get an answer (or have been thrown out of the place...).

Wild guess: Canadian Emissions?

(ok, maybe not such a wild guess - I started digging through the various car papers and lo and behold - found a COA! It's the only thing mentioned there under Optional Equipment that is not on the list you gave me based on the option code sticker).

Tried doing mine and it came up blank. :confused:

I'm sure you already knew it but your car is one of the 42 SE produced for the 88 MY.

So the equipment is standard for this serie:

M220: Locking differential
I302: Type designated on rear end
I330: Radio Blaupunkt Toronto
I383: Sport seat, left
I387: Sport seat, right
M474: sport shock absorbers
M494: Additional amplifier
I567: Windshield green graduated tint

Not many of them were silver by the way.

Any picture, please?
What are the engine and gearbox numbers?

Silver? Nice.. don't see many silver ones for sale. I'm still kicking myself for not buying a good silver SE about 4 years ago when I had the chance and the owner was in a hurry to move house.

Did you buy Angus'?

yes,bought from Angus yesterday :D,more via 928.org
i believe there where only 4 made in silver and 1 has been been damaged beyond repair.

pictures and numbers tomorrow

are there any CS in silver?

In fact, I begin to wonder if this option code is correct, because many cars delivered outside French speaking countries have it.

I think it's correct for the 1992-1995 period, but not for 1980-1982.

I think it's the wrong code for the early cars as well. Kinda begs the question about 484 as well, which could either be


484 Symbols and insignias for switches and instruments
484 Version for USA

Not sure which applies to Rich's car.

Hi All,

Welcome to another Aussie Rennlister John ... Start a thread and post some pics of your car .. we'd all love to see it. Amethyst is a great colour. Was it Nick Mckenna's car?

Hi Dave,
Yes it was Nicks car, will post some pics when she gets over as she is still on a truck
regards john

It has a wild interior to go with the amethyst if I recall. Look forward to seeing the pics when it arrives :cheers:

As promised, hereby my follow up: during our Friday 9th May 2014 facinating factory tour of Porsche Leipzig (all our phones and camera's were collected up front, as in: strictly forbidden), I discussed this 1:1 with our exceedingly knowledgable guide (who all have followed a very extensive training for 6+ months to learn all about the factory working + much, much more) after the tour had finished.

Alas: this kind of missing 928 option codes data is not electronically kept any more by Porsche, and he had no idea if there would be any paper records available either - let alone where.

There is still another indirect way that I am trying at the moment, in due cause I will let you all know what that outcome is.

Please look up this '87 S4: WP0JB0928HS860831
 

Hello Dave,

Would you please forward the information you have on this '87 928 S4? I would like to see what is original and what was added/changed.

Thank you very much!

Thank you Rob! It is an 86 and that List sounds right.

Hey Rob, do you know of a way to find original owner information for a 10 digit (1978) 928 VIN?

I have been looking for a car my Dad sold in 1986-and might have found it. He doesn't have any paperwork from the car (28 yrs ago)-
VIN 9288200500, which I believe decodes to 928, 1978, US engine (2), and number 500.

Short answer is, no. But let me make sure I understand- your Dad owned the car until '86 BUT was not the first owner? And you think that 9288200500 is the car he owned? And he knows/knew the name of the first owner? I'm not sure PCNA kept track of the car's original owner at that time, though you'd think they would, for warranty purposes. Might be worth a call to Porsche services:

http://www.porsche.com/usa/accessori...fauthenticity/

Alternatively, (assuming this 1986 transaction was in KS), maybe the Kansas DMV has really liberal laws about releasing previous owner information? I once managed to track an old corvette in Wisconsin back to 1980, maybe Kansas is similarly helpful?

Perhaps this form?

http://www.ksrevenue.org/pdf/trdl302.pdf

First-Thanks! You kick ass. Second-you are right. My Dad bought the car in 1978 and sold it in 1986 when I was 14. The car I found is in the city he sold it to, and was bought "from the original owner in Kansas City". Same color, pinstripe interior, 5 speed. Paint on the drivers rear quarter is different than the rest of the car (my Dad backed into a tree on that side in 84). there is a lot that says this is the car.

Now for the bad news. Owner wants waaaaaaaaaaay too much for it. Hasn't moved/ran in over 14 years. In fact it's been in a barn with the windows down for that period of time. The pictures are nothing short of scary. It's really worth more in parts than it is complete-to everyone on the planet except possibly me.

**update** if anyone was following this-it's not my Dad's car. Another one from KC just like it. So, back to the search...

Hey i am new to the forum i just purchased my first 928, a single owner since new and always garaged 1978. the owner said it was the 6th 928 in the US and i was wondering if that was true and what else i could find out about it. the VIN is 9288200645 Thanks
Steve

Steve ... it's not the 6th

Here is the master Vin thread ... https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...in-thread.html

First 1978 US + Can car was 9288200011

I don't know what the split up of US and Canadian cars would be, but yours is the 634th 1978 car, but would be referred to as number 645.

Number 500 is referred to in post #368 above, and here's a thread on #30 ... https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...ue-thread.html.

Rob,

Is there any chance you could decode the vin from my '83?

I looked online & the links looked dead (autoatlanta & suncoast) no sticker in the trunk either :-(

Hi Coxilano- That is not a 928 VIN number, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to lookup non-928 option lists. Sorry about that. Is that VIN from a more modern 911 variant?

It is not a 928 VIN, and it's more correct with WP0AB09114GS121946.
It's a 1986 911 Carrera 3.2 coupé US or CAN.
With a picture of the hood sticker, we could help you.
