Help with option information
 

Hi All -

With my down-time during the holidays I thought it would be fun to learn more about my 911. It's a 1980 SC that currently wears black paint and a red interior. It is missing it's option sticker under the hood. I just got off the phone with Porsche and the nice lady was able to tell me the options the car had. I was hoping some of you could help me learn more about these options.

1. 395 - Forged Wheels - were these the standard 15's?
2. C02 - US Emissions
3. 494 - Amplifier - Can I have more info on this?
4. 650 - Sunroof
5. 566 - Unknown option - Canada - Anyone have a clue what this is?
6. A1 - Exterior color: Black - plate on door jam confirms color 700
7. 95 - Interior color: Leather to sample (was then told it said LTHT BLT) - Any idea what this is?

I was able to find the obituary for the original owner, sounds like an interesting man. His son informed me his father owned 44 Porsches from the 70's through the 80's.

Option #'s
 

Please call Porsche & ask for the option #'s.

Thanks, didn't realize there were option codes as well. Added those into the first post.

I did find this site that lists option codes and their corresponding items. I'm curious why the fog lights are coming up "Unknown Canada".

My biggest question right now is the interior color.

My understanding of "leather to sample" is that it was a special order request, and may not be a normal production color. I don't know it you can get any further than that.

Thanks Arne2. From what I understand code 95 isn't for "leather to sample". There's a decent amount of discrepancy between what Porsche told me and what I'm finding by searching the web.

Is there any way to tell if the back seats or door cards were reupholstered? That might give a decent hint I'd suppose.
