OT: Does anybody have a list of Seinfeld's Porsches? I always heard he had an impressive Porsche collection, but didn't realize that the guy was hellbent on acquiring these rare/"last" cars. Would love to know what he's got. Of course, his famous Turbo S was just awesome. Anybody know where that thing is now btw? I wonder why the hell he sold it.
I know he had a 959, 1959 straight-16 GT speedster; a Porsche 911S; a 1955 RS Spyder 550 one of ten or so original ones left in the world, 1958 1600 Speedster, Carrera GT

Sorry guys, what I'm looking for is late NB coupes, it's already fairly well documented that cabs and Targas (all NB) were available and in production right up until the end of production. The NB coupes, in North America at least, seem to have stopped production in late 1996 (1997 model year).

New member here, been lurking for a while.
Mine's a ROW (UK RHD) C2 97 (V) last four digits 5047. I don't have exact build date, but car was delivered to dealer June 97, manufacture was probably late April early May.
Not sure when the Zuffhausen production line change over times were in 97, when they started up the 996 line. Given the level of change it would have been either after the Easter or Summer plant shut downs. The chances are that's when they stopped the NB production, in order to free up a body line for the 996.

For what it's worth, I had the opportunity to purchase the car mentioned above in the summer of 2011. 12/96 production, last 4 digits of VIN 2226, Arctic Silver/black, C2 manual coupe, 23000ish miles. Roger Jobs in Bellingham got it on trade and offered it for sale at $34K. I offered $32K and was told the car was sold at full price and shipped to Germany.
