I picked up a 1992 Cab, Black w tan, VIN WP0CA2965NS840381.

But here's the thing: the car is FULL leather: Knee bolster, seat backs, door cards, handles, center console, etc.

I have a factory Special Wishes full leather 993 and the work on this 968 looks as good as this. Which is to say it looks factory.

But its not in the option codes in the sticker in the trunk.

Was hoping you might be able to shed some light on this. Because its either the best aftermarket leather job I have ever seen, or it somehow some way is a factory leather interior that didn't make it onto the option codes.

And help greatly appreciated.

Hi ocelotfilm,

Good news, your cab is indeed one of the rare FULL leather 968s. 1 of only 30 cabs with full leather, 1 of only 7 with the full leather in cashmere/black.

The reason you are confused is that the full leather interior option appears in the two character interior code. The interior codes tell you the following:

1) Color
2) Type
3) Configuration

The North American 968s had 98 different interior codes over the 4 year production run!

Your car has code YA which is the full code for:
1) Cashmere
2) Leather
3) Full leather interior

The much more common LC is the code for:
1) Cashmere
2) Leather
3) Partial leather seats

And there are 5 other interior codes just for the cashmere interior family that cover full leather seats (LG), Multicolor cloth, partial and full seat (UX, RU), and Porsche script cloth partial and full (FS, JD).

The option codes for your car are 490/494 for the hi-fi sound and speakers and 691 am/fm single in-dash CD. Your car is an early car so you should have the recessed hood and larger rear emblems.

You have a special car there. Send me an email at Jeffery.coe@snet.net and we'll get you signed up for the 968 register. Hey, notice that even your e-brake handle has extra stitching and leather. Almost $5K for that interior in 1992.

Congrats,

Jeff

Hi Jeff, I will continue on this thread...
Looking at a 95 cab wpoca296xss840307
Seller had the owners manual stolen and I didn't see any option sticker or I missed it.
Can you help shed some light. Thanks

• Comments: Your 968 has option code 718 which means it was originally built in the previous model year and then reVINed by Porsche to reflect the next model year. The car was built in either May or June of 1994 and reVINed to be a 1995. (can you check the driver's door jam VIN sticker for me and let me know)

I have seen the car before. It was listed on Autotrader in March of 2003 in Texas with 95K miles on it.

Thanks
Jeff

Thanks Jeff,
Yes, from the seller the car was from Texas and he brought it up to Canada and has owned it till now. Currently has around 104,000 miles on it.

I drove this blue cab last night.
the front spoiler ribs are gone, the exterior mouldings are glued on, the timing belt has not been changed in 12 years, the body needs a lot of tlc but the car could be brought back, no oil leaks. drivers bolster is worn. it can be bought for around 9.5k cdn I think. also has a 4k clarion stereo
when I drove it, being used to 951s it has very little power but drove nicely. Owner says he is going to trade the car on Monday for a lexus plus cash if he can't get his price.

Pass, if the belt has not been changed in 12 years and 4k was wasted on a stereo, you know lots of other things have been skipped!

I still think you should check this one out, I can check it out for you:

Body and interior wise it looks to be in decent shape except for the dent. That leaves you 10k for mechanicals and you get a nice solid car with a new known mech history.

And it is close to canada. I am tempted to buy it as a parts car...

Turbodan

I have spoken to that dealer twice and the car is definitely sold and gone. but thank you Touareg for the suggestion.
BTW what is with your avatar? I also have an 08 touareg V6...great family vehicle!

jeff968

Nice Polar silver cab on eBay. Did you see it? Well optioned and only two owners.

Sometimes I feel like doing that to my cayenne Just a pic from years ago, car caught in a wildfire I think.
