Finally getting around to doing some real research to figure out the origin of my 1985 911. I’m guessing most will say to order a PPS formerly known as a COA. Not sure if they provide the information they once did. Also reached out to Norbert through Turbo Look registry but he was a little snappy about me not paying anything. I just don’t want to pay for something if I don’t know what I am going to get in return and if I will get the information I am looking for.
Would like to know.
What should the matching engine/transaxle numbers be for my VIN.
What were some of the options at the time of build. (Decal under hood only shows COO)
I looked up 911specs.com and my VIN falls within the “Turbo Look” model.
But I have no M491 one option code stamped anywhere. Also I don’t have turbo brake calipers.
Some have said that there was a year or two where they were not stamped with M491 and some years or where a special order could be very specific like not ordering with turbo brake calipers.
Not sure. Any experts on here offer any advice???
