Based upon my research and my 14 years owning this 964, here's what I've learned about this exceptional car...
One of the last of the '93's, built in March 1993, VIN '489 is an unexpected rarity.
How so? Not only by being member of a low production year ('93), '489 was made additionally unique (vs. earlier '93's) by the factory's inclusion of upcoming, new '94 911 parts & features into it -- items later associated 'unique' to '94 964's, RSA's, and 993's:

• VIN ID "theft-deterrent" stamps on body panels ('89 964's, and later re-introduced in '94. Ref Porsche Tech Bulletin No. 9301)
• Center latch design glove compartment door ('94 964's, and 993's)
• Smooth frunk interior paint surface (common to '94 964's, and RSA's)

How about a minor maintenance log book mystery, as well?

• The VIN sticker in '489's maintenance log book - genuine, having been delivery inspection-stamped by Porsche Bend, Oregon (dealer #2041) - sits secretly covering over another VIN sticker... to a 968! (Seeing's believing, so a photo to this, as well as all the above, have been included.)

Why the double stickers? [Shoulder shrug] Beats me!
Regardless, '489 is not your average 964, or even your average '93 964. It's its own character.

Factory options:
Power throne seats (DS, 8-way; PS, 4-way)
17" cup wheels (option "403" - front hood sticker)
Porsche "CD-2" radio (AM/FM/CD)
Rear window wiper.

Everything works as it should.

No structural damage associated with either incident, only cosmetic, and properly repaired.
