Need help deciphering this VIN# for a 1985-911

[69porsche]

All,
Need some assistance in deciphering this vin:
VIN: WP0AB0910FS120551

This is what I have been able to interpret through Porsche records, It's a correct 17 digit vin for a 1985 -Porsche 911 Carrerra Coupe, 3.2 engine, no airbags and made in Stuttgart.

However, I cannot identify what the other codes/characters mean in reference to this car-any help is appreciated. I am not interested in getting a COA, so wanted to put that notion to rest!
Thanks

Without a coa you don't know if the engine and gearbox are original. That information, and options, are not contained in the vin.

Thanks George, I used that website last night but only could get so far on the deciphering of the car....there were few characters, in X place and X place that did not correspond to anything mentioned in the Stuttgart website.

Matt,
Thanks-yes I am aware of that and the tranny is non matching, it makes no difference to me-However I just wanted to see if anyone could further decipher the Vin more than I did last night.
I am familiar with having a COA, due to my 67-912 and my 69-911E that I sold, I was merely looking at the Vin being deciphered as much as it could.

By 85 a vin was pretty generic. It will tell you a 5spd six cylinder and where it was made for. The rest are check digits and sequential serial number.

Thanks Matt, I was able to figure that out after 7-9 and 12-17 digit meant nothing to me as well!Gordon
