Silver rose car? I'm jealous...

The turbo-S is a blast to drive, you're going to have fun with that.

Out of curiosity and a little offtopic, do you use a dvorak keyboard? "Yeal" is a tough typo to make on qwerty...(yes, I admit it, I'm a big computer nerd).

nice car. looks clean. it's an 88 ?

[Tapage]

with much pain, I'm thought no .. I was check the VIN and the letter that describe the year appears its 86 - 87 I'm not totally sure.

I need to check the turbo ( thanks for your advice about K26/6 - 8 in the Clark's site ) to be sure about the model.

[nize]

can you provide photos of the interior, dash, and engine bay? also the back seats?

[Tapage]

engine bay not yet .. but interior yes ..

[Tapage]

Any special sing to view .. ?

[nize]

the vin number should be accurate about the year of manufacture. you should be able to find it in three places in the engine bay (one sticker on each side, and one place stamped into the metal in front of the battery), on a stamped metal tab on the driver's a-pillar, on a sticker on the inside edge of the door jam (both driver and passenger), and on a sticker in the spare tire compartment.

you might also be able to tell the year by inspecting the top of the front shock towers if it hasn't been modified.

in the rear photo of your car, the '944' decal does not belong there. the 'porsche' logo also does not appear stock.

the steering wheel is obviously aftermarket.

Here is my VIN WPOAA095XGN157421

The rear Porsche logo ( small, I see others big ) is not a stock logo ..?

[nize]

that vin number belongs to an 86 turbo. anatomy of the vin here;

note that there was no 'I' model year, they skip the letter i because it looks like the number 1.

the rear porsche logo (it's probably a sticker) is not stock. it looks like it belongs on a license plate frame or something.

Thanks dude .. you know .. something very interesting are mu 951 have oil press light in the dash .. and trans axle have a oil cooler .. but in the clarks site, it refer to this issues in a 87 Porsche.

[nize]

vin numbers don't lie.

there are variations on the oil cooler, it appears to have been present in various models, and some 88 models with LSD doesn't even have them.
