Default Vin decoder

I need a resource for the VIN options info on my '86 951. It was missing when I bought the car and I need the options info. My VIN is WPOAA095XGTN151103

I don't think the vin will give you options. Maybe email your VIN to PCNA if the sticker in the read deck is missing

+1 There is no VIN decoder that gives you the options but PCNA would know.

...or you can inspect the car and see what options you have, Ive found this to be a more reliable method of finding out which options remain after 30+ years.

Emailed PCNA to see if they can help.

My memory might be faulty but I seem to remember that there should be a paper label in the rear compartment possibly in the spare tire well that has all of the as-delivered options. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm right and IF the label is still intact after all these years you might be able to get the information that way. Lift the carpeting in the rear hatch area and look around.

You're right but mine was missing when I bought the car. It was a basket case that I restored. No reply from PCNA so I guess I'll try something else.

@911PERVY has a long running thread over on the 993 forum where he looks up options from VIN’s, I presume he has access to factory software to do this. Also PCNA will supply you a technical certificate with all the options if you pay them $500
