Hey all,

The 964 that I am looking at has the following codes..

C02
139
158
340
454
494

I know what all the numbers mean except for 158. I can't find the secret decoder ring for that to tell me what it is. I know the 454 means it's got a Chevy 454 in it....just kidding.

Anyway...I would assume that this Targa is a pretty basic car any opinions?

Did 964 have lots of options available?

It seems that 996 and 997 have a boat load of options available.

158 is: "Radio Blaupunkt Reno SQR 46"

" It seems that 996 and 997 have a boat load of options available"

That's because a 964 is a hardcore 911 for driving performance so you're lucky it comes with AC and a radio. A high priced 964 RS comes with hardly any options like AC or sliding roof.

There are about 10 pages of option codes for a 964 and about 14 pages for a 996, so there were a LOT of options available for 964's.

An RSAmerica only had 4 options (SR, AC, LSD and Radio)

TR6

My RSA only had two of those four options: 1) Limited slip and 2) air conditioning. I would have been ok with the radio option too (its got an aftermarket stereo now). But thank goodness it didn't come with the sunroof option! I guess the hard core track guys that ordered RSA's only ordered the limited slip and nothing else. That would be a fun car, but not when its 105 degrees F as its been here this summer.

If you are seriously considering buying a 964 you should really pick up Adrian Streather's book, "The Porsche 911 Enthusiasts Companion 'Auftragsnummer 964'" for use as a buyers guide or as reference material for when your new 964 is sitting in the garage. It pretty much covers everything and can save you its purchase price a hundred-fold.

I bought that book late last year in preparation.

I have to agree it is a pretty good book. Lots of insight into the 964 in there.

These Bentley published books are well worth their price, I agree.

I had an E36 BMW and I had a Bentley manual for that and that was pretty good too.
