Post 90 C4 VIN range

Does anyone have the serial number range for 1990 US C4s? I have a 90C4 Cab and the number is not in the range given by a book I have called "Original Porsche 911" by Peter Morgan. In fact my cars number is outside the range for any 1990 C4 according to that book.

Rick:

My Porsche Red Book lists the VIN Range for 1990 US Cabriolets as:

WPOCB296CLS470001-0673

This book does not break down VIN's by C4 or C2, just by body style (Cab, Targa, Coupe).

My C2 Coupe with a build date of Jan 22, 1990 is also outside the VIN range.

Hope this helps,
Jay

Aw right, I can't stand it any longer. I'm gonna break my self-imposed exile from the 964 board.



(Oh, it's really not that dramatic; it's just that I had to find a job (again), and then I've been learning my new job.)

Anyway, what part of your VIN is outside of the range?

Or to put another way, the above VIN (WPOCB296CLS470001-0673) is broken down as follows:

    So, do you have a different digit for the model year? Not L? Or is it something else?

    Very curious!

    Welcome Back Melissa! Glad to hear you're employed again!

    The last 4 digits of my VIN are 1504. The range for the last 4 digits on a 1990 US Carrera coupe have a range of 0001-1317.

    Hopefully Rick will post his example.

    The last four digits of my VIN are 0988. But I guess this is not uncommon after all.
