There aren't any 3.2 SC's, those are Carreras too. The G program cars were produced from 8/85-7/86. My '84 is an E program car. The '89 model year was the K program.
They also had a G Series, when a particular Series was the designator, those were produced from 8/73-7/74. I believe the went from Series to Program in thr early SC era.

Is there some source I can read to get smarter on all this?

Dan, there are quite a number of books out there on Porsche history, and 911 history in particular. Almost any buyer's guide will have all the specifics of 911 development. The first book I read on the 911 is still my favorite - Original Porsche 911, by Peter Morgan. Other great ones are Porsche 911 Story, by Paul Frere, and the grand daddy of them all, Excellence Was Expected, by Karl Ludvigsen. If you read Excellence Was Expected, you don't need to bother reading anything else.

I just purchased Excellence Was Expected with a 2008 update. Not a "cheap date" that one (!) but I'm looking forward to seeing it all. Thanks Dave.
