Apparently it's the 'Ask Jeff to decode your 968 VIN' thread
<snip> since the old link is dead...
:typing: |
Suncoast Porsche has offered a similar service for a while now
http://www.suncoastparts.com/category/VINDECODER.html |
very usefull.

Not bad, I checked a couple 968 VINs and it was mostly correct. Unfortuneatly it doesn't tell you exterior or interior or the X code options. I have those so I'm not out of business yet! :cool:

It doesn't work for mine!!!
Why? |

It was originally born as a 1993 and then reVINed to a 1994 by Porsche so you have the 944 style seats and the engine bay trim pieces. What is your vehicle production date? March or April 1993? I don't list the standard feature option codes and I don't have the exclusive interior options (like seat piping or deviated carpet). How'd I do? Jeff |

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.

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 |

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.

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 |

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.

Do you have the edged rear emblems as well? I'm not listing standard equipment like the 331 cassette player/454 cruise, ect. Jeff |
Jeff, if I understand it correctly, you only can work this magic for NA cars...correct? If so, do you know of anyone (apart from Porsche of course) that might have similar data about non-NA cars? I can't seem to find my option sticker anywhere and I'm dying to know what options it originally came with, what is the exact code of my interior color (I never can figure out / remember is it marine blue, navy blue, maritime blue? some kinda blue that's for sure! :D)...
Edit: aahhh, I really should update my avatar, been driving a midnight blue '93 968 for almost a year now :) |
TonD, that's right, my database is of the North American cars but many of the codes are the same. Since you have a 93 your interior is most likely Marine Blue in color with partial leather, code SW. You can visit your local Porsche dealer and have them pull a profile on your car but keep in mind, even Porsche's own computers puts out incorrect data. Certain codes have been reused since the 968 days so you'll see a GT package listed on the profile but there is no such thing for a 968. That code was used for the am/fm cassette player. Let me know if you need any help with the codes.
Jeff |
Thanks! My local OPC is not really cool with anything pre 997 / 987 / Cayenne / Panamera :( But I guess I can make a request at Pon Porsche, the Dutch sole importer.
|
Jeff,
Would you be so kind to run a report on my '87 944? VIN: WP0AB0942HN477175 Thanks! |
Sorry Sam, I have complete databases for North american 968 coupes and cabs but no 944s.
|
ok, no problem, thanks for the quick reply.
|
Jeff's head would explode if he tried to start in with the 944 variants; US 944 models outsold US 968 cars by almost 10-1. Besides, 968's were available with the Exclusiv option program, while 944 models weren't open to much customization as far as options.

92/Cabriolet/0690 Thank you! Calguy, '80 924 N/A '92 968 Cabriolet Looks like a black cab with a black top and the black/light grey interior. 1 of 432black cabs, 2nd most popular color, 1 of 14 paired with that interior. The only factory option is the partial leather interior. I've seen the car before. In Sept 03 it was for sale on eBay in Florida with 64K miles. Jeff |
Jeff,
You are da man! You are spot on with the Florida sell, I saw it on the car fax report. It's early years were spent in New York, then later she moved to a warmer climate to Florida. Fate had it for her to move to follow Manifest destiny and moved to Arizona in Tuscon. Then she went to California and has found a new home here in the Bay area with just north of 84K miles. :) Well, know it's probably 1 of 1 with the interior because I changed the carpet from the light grey (I could not find the same light grey carpet) to black. I still need to take some pics and do a before and after. Thank you Jeff, my hat goes off to you sir! Calguy, '80 924 N/A '92 968 Cabriolet |

Unfortunately, it appears the drivers seat was replaced with a common 4-way seat lacking lumbar support. Though it looks very rare, anyone have an idea where I might find a replacement seat that is correct for the car as ordered? My current seat is in pretty nice shape, but has some age, so the original must have failed some time ago. The original stereo was also replaced with a Boxster item, though I would suspect this is less of a concern for someone wanting a bone stock original car should I sell it some day (some day many many years from now!). - Nate |

Jeff Yes, your information matched my window sticker. I believe the original owner was very neurotic about the car (even have a plaque for a 1st place in a PCA car show!) so it would surprise me that the seat was not replaced with the original equipment. I also have what appears to be 100% of the records, and I did not see mention of a seat failure. So maybe you are spot on with the dealer switcheroo? - Nate |

This 968 is actually the second to the last 718 car for 1995. After #259 they built 60 more true 95s to finish the run. Jeff |

Thanks! Yes 5/93 is correct. The light grey/black interior variations did they also include options for seat color as well as carpet ?

Hey Jeff, hi gang...
Well I'm back in the fold, having picked up my '94 968 cab back in September. Needs a little cosmetic TLC, but mechanically she's in amazing condition. Some details: One-owner car - elderly couple, Hilton Head SC retirement community cruiser Garage kept Every record, service receipt, book, pamphlet, etc. 90K miles with all services completed, and then some No mods to radio, body, nothing. All original body and paint Original top in mint condition - can't understand how, honestly Seats need the obligatory reupholstering And... it has the 220 LSD Jeff, I'd appreciate anything else you can tell me about WP0CA2967RS840369 - thanks! -V |
I was wondering what happened to you. Sounds like a really nice example, look forward to your intro thread!

The seats are original and trashed. The front carpet has been replaced and is black. I'm trying to decide what to do with the color interior rehab. The door panel carpet and front kick panels were dyed black and were looking terrible with grey patches. I just got finished recoloring them black. The seats are next.....

So, I bought Chris's (sydneyman) '92 968. It was delivered last night and had a sticky lifter. I have since "unstickied" it using the mario and luigi technique. In the event that I was unable to get this head sorted, I bought an 88 951 for a motor swap. It's been a long time goal to have a turbo S replica. Chris's car was a good candidate as it is a black car with the beige two tone interior, nice suspension and he has added lightness. I also didn't want to molest a 1 of 1.
Still, I'd like to know what the database says about this car. Jeff, would you please? wp0aa02968ns82064 |

I'm going to go ahead and blame a wireless keyboard for that...
WP0AA2968NS820634 Did a bunch of wrenching on it tonight, sorted a ton of stuff. Then I embarked on the best drive I've had in ages. A bit under two years to be exact since my last p-car. The last 968 was in 2006, and a 951 since then. This car, properly set up, is such a blast. Many thanks, Jeff!!! |

I've been on vacation in sunny Florida but now I'm back to snowy Connecticut. That is a very cool car with lots of great options. I have not seen or heard of it before. It is black metallic, 1 of 31, but it has many great and rare options: It has full leather seats in cashmere (a $2,500 option and rare) dual heated seats 17" cup2 wheels full power driver's seat hi-fi sound cd changer and it has two rare exclusive options: XC9 - dark rootwood shift knob X32 - dark rootwood e-brake handle (1 of only 3 of the 4,242 NA 968s to get this option. If you bring a camera cane you get me a photo of that e-brake handle. Thanks Good luck Jeff |

Back in the nineties Porsche used a horizon blue coupe for US photos. I often wondered if it was your car. It looks like a close match. |
Wow... I guess she is a keeper... Plus she may be a photo model.... Getting sexier all the time. Now I understand some of the m030 benefits.. All of a sudden... The ride is smooth as silk... That is Horizon Blue Metallic silk!

Looking for some help. Just joined the forum today and unfortunately looking to sell my 1992 Guards Red Tiptronic 968. It is my last Porsche that I have and I may be moving internationally. Girlfriend says it has to go. Now I know it is a rare, but how rare so I can determine a fair price for me and the buyer. Here are the particulars. VIN# WP0AA2961NS820247. I know what that means except the 20247 being the serial number with modifications (what modifications)? Next is this designation 944 04 then M4444-42N R4400-. Paint Code is L80K or full Guards Red exterior with LT (leather seat option). I have the following Option Codes: C02, 139, 249, 288, 383, 387, 454, 490, 494, 498, 650 and 891. I know the car was originally shipped to a dealer in Lake Forest, IL and a novelist bought it from Aspen, CO. Afterwards, it was purchased in Beverly Hills, CA and then by another dealer whom I bought it from. I know it being a Coupe, Tiptronic and having Sport Seats make it rare, but I don't know the full details. The vehicle was serviced only at Porsche (by me) and has a total of 37,000 miles. Any help would be appreciated.

Got one for you, Jeff.
It's an interesting one that I found, close by recently. It's about parted out, but I wondered to the rarity of it. Current owner said it was from Eugene, Oregon. It did over 200k over its lifetime, wound up with some carbon fiber wrap on the hood and a pretty trashed interior and some loud noises in the head. Vin ends in PS820370 What's the package and history on it? |

The is a cool one because of the VERY rare interior. 1 of 349 white cabs. but 1 of 5 when you factor in the Cobalt interior. Of the 2,008 cabs on 11 had the Cobalt interior so it is a rare site. Looks cool too. There was a guy named Kim in Canada who had a Cobalt exterior with Cobalt interior which was wild. Check the interior condition. Parts will be difficult. And it has a Cobalt top too. |
Hi, Jeff. Did you have a chance to look at my 93 VIN 0557?

I'm not sure what that VIN is from. My databases are for North American 968s. If that is supposed to be a 968 they gave you a few wrong digits so ask them again. Jeff |

I would love to see a photo of the rear seats. I'm at Jeffery.coe@snet.net if you have some shots. Thanks Jeff |

Thanks, Jeff. Car now has a red interior so the black has been redone. It looks a lot like the "special leathers" red on the registry interiors. Any chance Porsche would have not recorded the color correctly? I might be able to have the owner sent me the option codes from the trunk sticke.

Here is his website: http://www.hudsonsimport.com/ Good luck! |
Hey thanks Jeff, but I certainly don't deserve all those accolades! IMHO, there are many 968ers more committed than me.
Marc - I certainly maintain, repair and modify my own cars but my shop doesn't service Porsche. But having been in the Charleston automotive community 45 years, I know all the local specialist who do. Call and speak to me personally when you have a need and I'll point you in the right direction. BTW, advice is free and I love talking about cars! |
Thank you to both of you
I try to call you tomorrow Cliff. I would definitely like your impluse on that car Thanks Marc |

I sure will, assuming the car's ready since I bought it sight unseen. I have a good feeling though.

Could you check this VIN as also ? Thanx !

I'm actually more stumped by the exterior. It looks too blue to be Tahoe but I'm not sure if that is Cobalt. The interior looks like code TU Light Grey/Classic Grey with the optional deviated carpet in a blue. But the front carpet looks marine blue where the back could be cobalt. But photos do strange things to colors. Nice car. |

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.

I would assume that an emblem delete car was ordered instead of 'off the showroom floor'. sounds like the midnight blue might also be a 'checked box' car due to the colored spoiler.

I just ordered the engine trim and CS steering wheel from Sunset Porsche, 2-3 weeks lead time from Germany but price not too bad, Happy it is still available.

I joined the 968 owner's club today! Just bought a low mileage 1994 White 968 coupe (VIN WP0AA2966RS820380). I have the options sticker still in place, but I'm curious as to what else the VIN might tell me. Thanks in advance! Stefan |
Oh - I think you mean the one bought on BaT (auction)? ... That is not me, lol. I bought mine off of craigslist in Albuquerque, NM - same color though and only 49k miles! :) ... But yes, that one on BaT is a gorgeous car!

Thanks Jeff! ... I just looked at my sticker and see those codes as well. One difference though - after my paint code (L908), I have the letters "VN", denoting "Leatherette/Leather", which appears to be rather rare, from the 968 registry at least: for black interiors, only 26 coupes and 15 cabrios. I also have the 09991 (exclusive program code), followed by 16821, noting "Porsche crest in seat back". Probably not that rare, but cool nonetheless!https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...c35f8c9c61.jpg
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...ac36cb62cb.jpg |
Correct, VN is full leather seats in black. I corrected that in my reply.
You get the 09991 exclusive program with any X option code. Your car has the XD4 painted crests so that is why it appears. I don't have all the info on the 5 digit interior codes per car. You can see I have a page devoted to them on the site. They are very rare. You got a really cool 968 there. We discussed it many times here previously. You just need to get those rear seats fixed but that shouldn't be too hard. Only 49k miles. Compared to the one that sold yesterday you got a steal. the other codes, in case you are wondering, are standard equipment; C02 US emissions, 331 am/fm cassette, 423 cassette holder/console door, 425 rear wiper, 454 Cruise. 650 power sunroof |
Thanks Jeff - I'm excited to get to work on this car and to actually drive it. RL forums have been a great resource for my previous cars and the 968 forum looks to be a great one! I'll be adding my car to the 968 registry shortly (once I get it home and cleaned up).

Oh cool, thanks! I didn't realize this one was well-known :) Yes, I definitely will get those rear seats fixed - my mechanic says there's a good upholstery shop in town that they send other Porsches to, so I'll try them out. The rubber trim/weather seals also need to be replaced, but that should be easier. After that, it'll just need a good wash/claybar/wax and leather/vinyl treament on the inside.Thanks for the kind words - I'm happy to have gotten this one and to learn from you guys as I work on it. :cheers:

I know this is an old thread but I wanted to know if anyone could decode my car. I tried Sunset Porsche and they discontinued the service. All other attempts show my car is too old. VIN: WPOAA2963RS820515. Thanks in advance.

Jeff,
Thank you very much. It is 11/93 build date and that is my car! I just got it about 2 weeks ago and has 60k miles. Overall car is in amazing shape. I am addressing some mechanical issues and some small things that bother me because I am a perfectionist. This is my first Porshce that isn't a 911 turbo of some variant and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Love the community. |

Thanks, Jeff. It definitely has the script seats. I'll ask and report back.

Hi Jeff -- I went to see the car last week. Option code is TT, I took a picture of the sticker, but the seats are script and I think vinyl. Car needs cosmetics and love. Nice seller, I made him an offer and he is considering it....

Hey there, I just stumbled on this as I just bought my late best friends 968. It's en route and Im getting so anxious. I found the car in the early 2000's but didn't have the resources to buy it. He did and we had been teasing each other about it ever since.

Matter a fact, this coupe is the FIRST model year 1994 coupe that is not a 718 car (previous year, reVINed by Porsche). RS820221 is a 718 car. Can you check the driver's door jam sticker for me and confirm that it reads 7/93? Also, be sure to visit 968register.org to learn a lot more about your car. You can sign up for the register as well. It is free. And consider PCA. Good luck. Jeff |
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 |

Can anyone help me decode the options on the 968 and give me an honest opinion on what a 6-8 week sale price might be? Assume "good" condition until I can load pictures. I am a 987/996 guy.
1992 Porsche 968 Convertible VIN: WP0CA2961NS840345Transmission: Manual Color: Red Miles: 146,147 Thanks |
Only 3 options; 437 8 way full power driver's seat, 490/494 hi-fi sound with 8 speakers and amps, 691 CD-2 in dash am/fm CD player. Early car (Nov 91) so it should have the recessed hood badge and larger emblems. What makes this car unusual is the interior. It has code AB partial cloth seats in black. Of the 2,008 968 cabs, only 31 had the standard cloth seats. Jeff |

317 '94 Coupe Definitely might have seen this one before. Looks like a red coupe with cashmere interior, two options: LC partial leather and that all important 220 Limited slip differential. This is a late "true" 94 so it has the 993 style comfort seats and lack of engine bay trim. Jeff |

Thank you. Would you mind describing what LC Partial leather actually includes? Does this mean seat faces are real leather and not pleather or does it include door panels or just what? Thanks John |

Interior was pristine black with sport seats. Wish I took some screen captures of the engine, it was cosmetically correct and looked perfect.

We all know Pete. He runs RS Barn in PA. He is a long time 968er and he actually did own one of the super rare Turbo S 968s many years ago. Not sure the story behind this car but it looks nice.
FYI, you can identify a real 968 Turbo S by its unique VIN series. It has a "9" in it. So for a 1993 you would fine PS8900##, and for 1994 you would find RS8900##. I believe they only made 14 of them. |
The Turbo S only had the NACA ducts - no intercooler hood duct. Only the Turbo RS had both hood features.
|
I know Pete very well, I sent the pictures and add to him just before I posted here. The guy in NY has pulled down the add. My Friend Emanuel knows the owner of this white car. A ton and I mean a ton of money was spent on this car with all original Parts but it is Not original as it was listed on Hemmings. Still a great car and I would buy it for the right price. Too bad it went to a dealer.

Would love to hear about all the factory original 968 turbo S parts that were used to build it. |
Exact details no, Emanuel knows though. Cost was north of $150K for parts. I see that this car sold back in 2012 for $72K at the Amelia Island auction. Somebody got a deal there, so it will be north of there now.

Would love to hear about all the factory original 968 turbo S parts that were used to build it. FWIW - I came across this parts list a few years ago. You can try to run them through the typical webstores and will find that they just.don't.exist. anymore. |
Fortunately, you can build a much better performing turbo S now with all the new products. I plan on doing just that with mine.

The phone looked like that but the mounting was different. It mounted to the side of the console like an aftermarket phone of the day. I think it was dealer installed and not factory installed.

Hi Jeff,
I have been reading your posts and let me just say that YOU ARE AWESOME! I would like to buy you a beer at a Cubs game if you are ever in Chicago but I recently had a close friend and client pass away and his widow had little information about his 1994 968 cabriolet with tiptronic. Can you work your magic with the VIN. I don't think there is anything very rare on it but the wheels are amazing. Its a chrome porsche wheel and I'm wondering if it is aftermarket or original. the VIN is WP0CA2967RS840470. Thanks for your help. Matt |

Matt FWIW - regarding chrome wheels, I believe chrome wheels for our cars were never 'officially' offered by Porsche. In my early days in the 928 community, there was discussion from time to time on this very topic - a well read and Porschephile was quick to note that Porsche did not endorse chrome plating of stock OEM wheels primarily due to concerns with the temperature fluctuations the wheels undergo in the plating process. |

I hope you will take me up on it if you are ever in Chicago. I have just made arrangements to acquire this car and it only has 29k miles on it. Any thoughts on maintenance if I want to drive it for a summer. It has been in heated storage for the last 15 years. Naturally timing belt and pulleys but any other suggestions? Also do you know of someone who can rebuild the water pump. It works fine but according to my mechanic, they don't make oem anymore. Thanks for your guidance and go Cubs!

Matt.
My suggestion to you, is the same one that people gave me. Find a good independent Porsche shop in your area. PCA members might be able to help. Make sure that they are well versed in transaxle Porsche's, not all are! Have then do a complete evaluation. Do you have any service records? At some point, all the rubber needs to be replaced. Hoses, lines, gaskets. Is the dash cracked? Clutches seem to last 60-90K miles. Tires over 10 years are scary. Welcome to 968 land... -Yogii AKA 968 Virgin |

Not to derail this excellent thread any further, but 968 water pumps are still available new from aftermarket suppliers, but not directly from Porsche.

Jeff, there is a coupe being auction by Gooding https://www.goodingco.com/vehicle/1995-porsche-968/ that is claimed to be “among the last five coupes delivered to North America”. It’s a ‘95, vin 820310. Since the last NA coupe was 820319, wouldn’t that make this one of the last nine instead? Also, can you tell us what factory options the car came with? Anything else interesting about this car? One problem I see right off is Cup1 wheels. Thanks! |

Anything else interesting about this car? One problem I see right off is Cup1 wheels. Thanks! You are correct. #2,225 of 2,234. It is interesting for a couple of reasons. It is 1 of 60 "last batch" 968s that are true 1995s. (not a 718 car). October 1994 build date. Besides the tip (it is NOT the last tip coupe, SS820312 is), options include metallic paint, partial leather, painted crest center caps, body colored painted rear spoiler, CD-2 in dash single CD player. Another cool thing about it is that it is one of 16 coupes without the cassette storage and console lid from the factory. (Like the CS) It came with the standard 16" 5 spokes when new. Jeff |
