need help with vin

Hi i am looking to buy another Porsche 911, and came across one, he said it is a factory wide body 1987, here is the vin can anyone help?
WPOABO912HS121043. It looks like a 1991 964 turbo he said it was done in germany at gemballa. Here is a pic? What do you think? He also said this,
""it has black brake calipers with the porsche logo on them. the azev wheels i was told were only available to gemballa when they first came out they still are only available in germany but are imported to LA if ordered. 2 grand each""

""it is a factory steel wide body, it has the original motor in it. a 3.2 i think? all the special stuff was done by gemballa in germany. and the interior was reworked by connelly leather in london. the paint is original. the front rear and side facia's were done in germany and gemballa also did the exhaust and air intake rework""

Just some of the things he emailed me.

The vin confirms it's an '87... but to really determine if it's a real M491, you'd have to come up with some original docs, or send away to Porsche for info...

M491 was an option package and not a special model, so they don't have unique VINs.

If the paint is original, you should have an option sticker under the front hood. Check and see if it lists "491" among the options.

If you still have the warranty and maintenance booklet it should also have an option sticker.

1987 911 Carrera 930/20 231/5900 284/4800 WPOZZZ91ZHS100001-3381 63H00001 ff. 3381

I presume you mean 91Z and not 912. It is indeed an 87 Euro Carrera with 231hp

A set of those wheels didnīt sell on Ebay for 398Euro 537USD
