Hi Jeff,

I hate jump in on a thread like this but selfishly would it be possible to get the same info for my vehicle? I know you had given some info before but I was hoping maybe you now have the sequense in the series of production for mine as well. :-)

Last 5 digits of the vin are 40690. Its a 92 black cab with light grey interior.

Thank you!

John,
Here are the details for you:
#2,110 of 2,234 NA coupes
#135 of 259 1995 coupes
1 of 220 F8 Midnight Blue coupes
1 of 12 F8 Midnight Blue coupes with the marble grey/midnight blue interior

Options include metallic paint, partial leather, and limited slip diff.

Your car is a 718 car indicating it was born a 1994 and reVINed to a 1995 by Porsche (could you check the production date for me? Found on the door jam sticker, either April or May 1994).

If you are out cruising around on Saturday May 16th come up to Woodcliff Hilton for the zone 1 concours. I'll be there with both of my cars.

Jeff

Marc,

My advice for PPIs in a location that isn't familiar to you is to contact the local Porsche club, either the tech chair or the president and ask for their recommendations. I've done it 3 times and been very satisfied each time

Good luck with your search
