Clark's Garage option list says "special edition" 1988 924S. Not so sure what was special about 924S's that year, other than sport suspension and (i'm guessing) script interior.

1988 924S "Special Edition"
109*** original miles

Nearly all original. The only mods I've found so far are the radio head unit, some aftermarket under-bumper driving lights (which will be easy to remove), and possibly the cloth seats (which may have been recovered...more on that later).

Options list:
C02: catalytic converter
030: M030 suspension package (confirmed intact)
160: Charleston head unit (missing, already searching for replacement)
360: rear mud guards
526: cloth door panels
573: air conditioning
657: power steering
756: special edition package
990: cloth seats

Other things of note:
Sunroof delete
Dual manual mirrors
It even still has the 944-style rub moldings on the doors that were unique to the SE version.

Runs, drives, and shifts very nicely, has reputedly been garage-kept its entire life, and the lack of fading on the carpet and condition of the original paint seems to bear that out.

Pictorial reveal to follow once we complete the last leg of the trip this afternoon.

Pretty. I also see you DID end up with the silver DP repro. I like that one the best.

So when do you have time to, you know... eat or sleep?

I just happen to have a lot of these options on my 1987 n/a.

Nice find! Have fun and "Thanks" for sharing!
