Huh- That is a very early US market 1978 4.5 liter motor. There's no direct relationship between the engine serial number and the VIN of the car that it came out of but that is probably from the 60th to the 70th US market '78. It's missing the covers for the rubber plugs in the cam towers (which have been painted black ). Looks to be in very nice shape, and complete other than the warmup regulator.

It's a 1994 so the rims should be Cup 2, without RDK.

Hi Rob,
Does this '84 928S show any Z-order production codes?
WP0ZZZ92ZES841643
It's got what appear to be factory-painted wheels (in Chiffon White.)
Fingers crossed it has a Z-Order production code showing. This will reveal the code.
Thanks for all of your help Rob.

Hi Rob. I just bought this 1993 German market GTS that has a full leather interior and sunroof delete. I'm curious as to why the full leather interior never comes up in the option codes. This is the third or fourth euro GTS that I've come across with full leather interior that never has it listed in the cars option codes.

Good question- I think it's mostly because there was not a single 'Leather interior' option, just a series of 'standard' M code options for raff leather seats (for example), and a bunch of individual Exclusive options for leather pod, leather rear seats, etc. There is in fact an option code M981, for leather dash and door panels, but it's used on only two ROW GTSs in '92 and '93, and not on this car.

I don't know if this car has any Z-options on it. Do you have a copy of the cargo floor sticker?
