My memory failed me. It wasn't built in February of 1990. The date on the sticker is 22 Dec 1989.

Thanks Vilhuer.

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.

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
Limited slip diff

I bet that would be the entire list of options.

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

Thank you sir

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.

Left heated seat only, automatic trans, and rubstrips = Dentist's wife's car.

You're welcome Tim, anytime! Holler back with other cars, we'll keep the lights on for you!

Looking at this 911.

Any help would be appreciated!

WPOEB0911JS170224

Want to see if there are items added after production.

I guess there is no 911 Vin Decode discussion?
