Sometimes I struggle with the decision to let this car move on to a new owner. Just an epic drive.

Just took the C2 up Hwy 70 toward Quincy in preparation for our drive down to Monterey later this week.

964 Porsche VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)

The VIN is a 17 digit international code. Porsche use two versions, the ROW and the USA requirements code.

In reading the following VIN numbers please note that the first 6 characters have been removed eg. WPOZZZ for RoW cars, and USA and Canadian cars WPOAAO/WPOAEO.

It is much easier to identify an American 964 as compared to a ROW 964.

Digit 4 Z = ROW market, A = Coupe (USA), B = Targa (USA), C = Cabriolet, Speedster (USA)

Digit 5 Z = ROW, A = 3.3 litre turbocharged engine, B = 3.6 litre normally aspirated engine, C = 3.6 litre turbocharged engine

Digit 6 Z = ROW, 0 = No airbags installed, 2 = airbags installed

Digits 7 and 8 First two numbers of the type (auftragsnummer) number. In all cases for the 964 these numbers will be 96

Digit 9 is a check number and is not important. However for the USA this will be a 0 to 9 or a X and for the ROW will be a Z.

Digit 10 is the model year letter. K = 1989, L = 1990, M = 1991, N = 1992, P = 1993, R = 1994

Digit 11 is the plant of origin i.e "S" for Stuttgart

Digit 12 is the last number of the type and this will always be a 4.

Digits 13 to 17 make up the serial number.

Digit 13 1 = RS America, 2 = US Coupe with airbags, 4 = US Targa with airbag, 6 = US Cabriolet with airbag

Digit 13 also provides version identification but can only be used for a specific model year. The numbers were changed around so a 5 in 1989 may not be the same as a 5 in 1994.

Emergency Triangle...

Ever wonder what goes in the front trunk pouch on the trunk carpet kit?

Scored a Porsche OE emergency triangle for #699 to complete the front trunk set of tools, jack, and air compressor.
