Fun911,

Your VIN is for a 1985 US Carrera Coupe. Check your option codes (sticker underside of the bonnet) for option code M491. If it's there, you've got a factory widebody (AKA turbo look).

Regards,

Jim
1995 Black 993 Coupe

The F is for 1985
The S is for Stuttgart
1 is for 911
2 is for USA 911SC or Carerra Coupe
