Official 928 VIN & Option check request thread

🤣 Brilliant thanks so much Rob!
So the first owner literally ticked nothing on the option list apart from the battery! 😀 I like that it has no sunroof too.
The car has a passenger side mirror fitted, was this standard for a 1981 model year car?
It is black metallic with black full leather - Weird Science!

To be fair, the old dataset that we're working from has limited information about the '78-80 cars (in terms of engine code, colors and interior codes) but the options list is usually complete.
RE: the mirror, for 1980 it was still an option. For US market cars 1523 of 1631 cars list the passenger mirror as an option, in the ROW market (including your car) it was 659 of 2753, so considerably less common in those markets. That said, in your case either that mirror was added later ( I doubt it), the person who transcribed the build sheet into the database missed the option, or the workers just had a passenger door with the holes for mirror mounting and stuck it on your car before paint.

Rob,
Can you please run some numbers for me?
1. WP0JB092XGS862708, Red/BLK 1986.5 Auto
2. WP0JB0921GS862213, BLK/BLK 1986.5 Auto
3. WP0ZZZ92ZDS860148 Passenger side fender - WP0JB0925DS860148 - A pillar.
Still can't decide if I want to start a restoration on either the BLK/BLK 86.5, and the WHT/BRN 83 5spd??
More information is always better...
Thanks
Mike

Rob,
Thanks much for the fast reply, I'll have to check the car VIN tag, but the title has it listed as WP0JB0921GS862239.
I wish it was a 5 speed but she has an automatic in there with a LSD.
Anyway thanks much!!
Mike
