Official 928 VIN & Option check request thread

Thanks for the information. All the information I'm finding is verifying the GT model. Excited to get started rehabbing the interior and exterior to make those look a bit better! It's in great shape so me and my son are pretty excited about it!

First thing I will have a shop do is get it back to factory height (corner balanced and aligned in the process). And see what parts underneath I've beaten up with the drive from Tulsa to San Diego. There was one particular pavement elevation change just outside OKC that we took a solid hit on... . Fortunately, we still made the rest of the drive with the only issue being (probably) an overheated alternator (in concert with a weak battery) causing a few stalls at highway speeds between Tucumcari and Albuquerque. Might be more complex than that but I'll get it figured out. Or someone smarter than me...
Thanks again.

Congrats Barry and welcome to the 928 family (though I guess you already were a member…) - lovely color!
The one I own was also advertised as “S4” (most VIN decoders will report that). My “tell tales” were the 6,600RPM redline (S4 is 6,400 if I recall) and the numbered scale on the temp gauge (S4 only has the lines, no numbers).

This 928 drives nicely and sounds like a dragon. I'm still getting used to the dogleg shifter and the weight being in the front but the learning is fun.

Hi Rob,
Do you mind running my VIN?
WP0AA292XMS810294
I'm just wanting to make certain of my carpet color before I order some replacements....
Much appreciation in advance,
Dan
