Your car is: #1,544 of 2,234 NA 968 coupes #287 of the 718 1994 NA 968 coupes 1 of 220 F8 Midnight Blue NA 968 coupes 1 of 89 F8 MidnightBlue 968 coupes paired with classic gray interior Factory options include: TT - partial leather interior in classic gray XD4 - painted crest center caps 398 - 17" 993 style Cup 2 wheels 437 - full 8 way power driver's seat Your car is NOT a 718/Model year reVIN 968 so it is a true 1994. You have the 993 style seats and no engine bay trim pieces. I could use your production date (found on the driver's door VIN sticker) Is that better? Jeff I'll give you the year another time, my car is store for the winter, dont have access to it easily... thanks, very interesting... |
First link uses same factory source as PET 7 to get model and option data. It just tries to explain codes but isn't any better than PET. Both are simply pragrammed wrong and would return much more explanations if code would change leading letter I to M.

Okay Jon,
Let's see if I do better for you: You car is: #1,843 of 2,234 NA 968 coupes #586 of the 718 1994 NA 968 coupes 1 of 29 D3 Iris Blue NA 968 coupes 1 of 11 D3 Iris Blue 968 coupes paired with midnight blue/marble gray interior Factory options include: WQ - partial leather interior in midnight blue/marble gray XD4 - painted crest center caps 220 - Limited slip differential 437 - full 8 way power driver's seat (yes this is correct but the owner's manual shows yet another option with three round plus one rocker switch, not sure what that thing would be called). 490 - hi-fi sound speakers w/Amp 595 - Rear spoiler painted body color Other options on my sticker: 331 -- AM/FM Cassette with 2 door speakers (note though option M490 has the 10 speaker option) 423 -- Cassette container and coin box. Car did not have this when I got it, just an empty bin with lid. 425 -- Read window wiper 454 -- Automatic speed control 650 -- Electric sunroof 09991 - Have seen lots of discussions about this and whether or not all USA cars have this. Exclusive program I believe. Your car is NOT a 718/Model year reVIN 968 so it is a true 1994. You have the 993 style seats and no engine bay trim pieces. What is your vehicle production date? Dec 93? Jan 94? Jeff It is a true 1994 with all the updates, build date Nov 1993. I have a pretty rare piece of documentation called the 1994 MY supplement that lists all the updates from 1993; it's pretty cool. --UPDATE HERE-- this document is WKD 498 821, which a quick google shows as available at sunset for ten bucks. http://www.sunsetimports.com/resource/wkd-498-821/ Someone jump on that, I though this was long out of print. My scanner at home is on the fritz or I'd show you a sample. By the way, the Iris Blue over midnight blue+marble gray is really stunning, but I'm kinda biased there :D Jon |

Nice shot. Most is correct above except I'm not sure about the 8-way power seat. I don't believe 437 is on the option sticker. I have two round electric switches on the side of the driver's seat, fore/aft and up/down. Not sure what makes an 8-way seat. I did not have a CD changer when I got the car but the Autoatlanta decoder link above lists M595 as rear spoiler painted body color, which I DO have.
I'll dig up the option sticker when I get home and update this. It is a true 1994 with all the updates, build date Nov 1993. I have a pretty rare piece of documentation called the 1994 MY supplement that lists all the updates from 1993; it's pretty cool.

See updates in post #18.

Jon,
Other options on my sticker: 331 -- AM/FM Cassette with 2 door speakers (note though option M490 has the 10 speaker option) 423 -- Cassette container and coin box. Car did not have this when I got it, just an empty bin with lid. 425 -- Read window wiper 454 -- Automatic speed control 650 -- Electric sunroof 09991 - Have seen lots of discussions about this and whether or not all USA cars have this. Exclusive program I believe. These are all standard, no extra cost features on the NA 968. I only listed the options. 09991 is there because your car has the Xd4 painted center caps option. XD4 is part of the exclusive program. Thanks for the document image! Jeff |

Made between 03/94 - 08/94. I believe in 968 cases both '94 and '95 M718 early model year production started at March. From legal point of view anything after January 1st was ok to be called next MY car. In any case door sticker in early M718 VIN cars will tell when first of them were made. 0061 was first and 0108 is not too far from it that both couldn't have been made in same month.

Actually February 1994. There were true "R" 1994 non-718 cars produced in Febraury and then Porsche started with the "S" 1995 718 cars produced in the same month.

Does your data source have actual build dates or is info based on individual known car door stickers? Not saying you are wrong. Its just interesting to know if there is system where such data could be checked besided fully closed to outsiders Porsche internal databases.
