Looks like a 1987 Carrera Cabriolet, according to http://www.adelgigs.com/911vin%20numbers.shtml

for an 87 it probably has the 231 HP vs the 217 and originally came with no cat or O2 sensor (I believe). Upon entering Canada, it may have been fitted with the cat and O2 sensor to meet emissions standards, so have a look and see what you have. The Euro's had a pre-muffler in place of a cat. If you're not sure what you're looking at, snap a pic and post it. Check behind the drivers side rear wheel for either the cat or pre-muffler.

DIN hp = kW divided by .736 DIN = 170/.736 DIN = 231 SAE hp = DIN divided by 1.014 SAE = 231/1.014 SAE = 228 DIN = 160/.736 DIN = 217 SAE = 217/1.014 SAE = 214
