Looking for: guard red 1985.5 944 (WP0AA0949FN456310) in Quebec

Long story short, my dad was the original owner of this car. Found the VIN this morning and ran a CarFax on it. It looks like the car is still on the road in Quebec (Canada).

If you know this car, please let me know! I'm curious to know what became of this car, as it's the one that sparked my passion for Porsches!

Thanks!

Yes, most likely!

Still, I was sure the car was gone by now, in a scrapyard somewhere... I was really surprised it was still registered in Quebec, probably no further than 2 hours away from where I'm located. There's not many of these cars still around and someone who owns one is likely a car enthusiast, so you never know!

Try going to a Porsche dealership. You might luck out and it could have been in for service recently. Of course, they won't give you their info, but they might contact the owner on your behalf. The folks at my local dealership are pretty friendly like that.

I actually have a few cop friends, but I wouldn't dare asking since they would get in serious trouble if they got caught...
