964 Speedster USA & Kanada: 96 ? RS 46 5 001 > 96 ? RS 46 5 469
the first 60 numbers of each modelrow where blocked for testcars - if that was done with the 964 speedsters, there should be 930 all over the world ... Marc Bongers writes of 15 widebodys ?? - so 915 regular ones ...

I find this perplexing don't you?
I would be happy to be proven wrong and have definitive documentation attesting to any of these cars. If the numbers are different than what all these years have taught us than it would be nice to have answers to all these questions. The 928 guys somehow were able to obtain all documentation about every 928 made there must be way to obtain this about the 911's and if there are holes in the documentation that match up with these oddities than I am sure we can draw conclusions then.

that unforunately not shows the number of peaces - but it shows that we have to count from 5061 ...

This brings up a very interesting series of questions. Assuming you are correct on the count that would explain why I have seen 5xx serial numbered speedsters. I am not saying there were more or less made at this time. However, Now for the real confusion.
The 94 turbo first 288 cars were known to have been M718 coded. I did a lot of research in the past and we found vin# 288 to be M718 coded and vin # closely above 288 not to be 718 coded along with all the numbers above and into the 300's. So if the first 60 from both 1993 M718 and 1994 non M718 turbos were not used one might conclude that there are 120 less US 94 turbos shipped to the US. that would make 346 minus 38 Turbo S flachbaus and 17 turbo S package cars or roughly 291 Stock US 94 turbos shipped. I don't believe this to be the case. Although, if we go as far as saying only the 1st 60 of the P coded turbo 3.6 did not receive a serial number below 60 and the actual R coded 94's continued from 289 on up it would mean that the number is still less than 466 total including turbo S's by 60 cars or 406 in total or 351 stock turbo 3.6's We also know the last 94 US turbo 3.6's made were the turbo S's taking the longest to build and being completed by the werks department the last vin number used was 466 as shown here. http://www.flachbau.com/X85-USA.html
This would explain why we see many cars over and over again for sale but there are about 100 that never surfaced over the past 7 years I have been researching this. We also know that a number of 94 turbos were sent immediately to customers for IMSA racing so the total number of street stock US turbo 3.6''s continues to drop.
Apparently there is much more info needed about the 964 than any of the experts seem to have.
Although this makes me excited as it would appear my one of a kind US version turbo 3.6 is even rarer than was originally thought. To think my car is now only one of 291 or 351 stock turbo 3.6's
Thanks for the info.

I wrote a letter to Porsche a few weeks ago asking for access to Porsche PPN Network. To browse all cars in the database would be the only way to get a claer view on all those questions
I would have done allthough it would be a job for someone who killed father and mother, but Porsche gave a clear NO !!

Although someone knew someone to get all the build info on every single 928 GTS.
Although I find it hard to believe that Porsche totaled 240 US and another 240 ROW GTS's over a 4 year period when only 406 US cars were delivered. These numbers mean only so much and we will probably never know the entire truth.
It would be nice to find an in at Porsche as the 928 guys did but for now I don't think we have any real facts only suggested numbers and what source you want to believe or reference is up to the seller I guess.

Wow, Thanks!! That is one sexy beast! Almost looks like my car 'cept for the windhield and rear hump. I would love to be able to mount a speedster windshield. I hear it involves welding attachment points?? anyone know?

There have been different topics about the speedster parts(including the windshield, doors, glass, hump, mounting hardware for under the hump) on rennlist and pelican. I am following these threads since I hope to build/let one build for me another day in the future.
I remember LA Porsche Dismantlers sometimes have these windshields and other speedster parts, right?
Otherwise try to search these parts regularly on Ebay and other sites.
I seem to remember that the total of parts, excluding working costs for mechanics, was about 15000 US dollars (someone calculated that). But this was using Speedster doors I think. You could also adjust your regular 964 doors (right?).
I wouldn't mind mine (if I will ever own one) if it would be original or not. As long as it is very well build and looks original or beautifully adjusted (like the black one from Japan).
