Looks like a grand prix white cab, 1 of 349
Factor in the Dark blue top and Marine blue interior and it is 1 of 100

Factory options include:

I have seen this car before. It was listed on eBay in March of 2004 in CA and had 169k miles on it at the time.

I have a 997.1 (C2) incoming (bought unseen, will arrive next week - all good). While waiting, can someone be so kind as to help me lookup the vin and extract the complete option list?

It's a European model, vin: WP0ZZZ99Z8S700337

Thanks in advance

 

My databases are only North American 968s. You may have to visit a dealer for this info.

 

Sorry - my mistake - thanks

 

Thanks Jeff, that's great information. I bought the in 2004 ish and yes it had 169k on it. Pretty high miles but it was pretty clean. I have since rebuilt the engine completely and am in the process of restoring it back to its original condition. Still Grand Prix white and dark marine blue. I want to completely redo the interior and upgrade a few other items.

 

Jeff, if you have a minute could you please look up WP0CA2965SS840246 ?

Thank you.
