Excellent VIN decoder

Jeff, thanks so much.
I'll check the door tag and report back. I ran my carfax today as well, I guess I had forgotten that my friend Peter bought this car from the original owner in 2006. It spent 11+ years with the original owner and 12+ years with my best friend. The car spent its earliest years in Connecticut, with service records from New Country Porsche prior to heading to Barrington, IL with the same owner and then sold locally to my friend who also lived in Barrington. I don't believe it spent one night outside the garage for at least the 12 years I've known the car. In fact he only put ~6000 miles on the car in those 12 years. Car now reads 50,700 miles, pics and my own thread once it's landed in Nevada.
PCA membership has remained current during times of Porsche & non-Porsche ownership. I've had 944T's and my beloved Cayman S (all have been white, hence StormTrooper)
Thanks again
Sean

Correct, It could be dealer or more likely, port installed option. I know they don't work anymore but they are still cool to look at.
