All the last vin numbers are known but you need to subtract 60 from the total number based off the last known vin.

So instead of 158 (or however many the books state) US targas being built in 1990, there were actually only 98 made?
I was looking over at the Ultimate 964 Targa thread on rennlist, and 1990 VINs range from ...075 up to ...721, so I can't just take the largest VIN and subtract by 60. It appears the VINs weren't exactly sequential.

I don't really care one way or the other if my car is "one of 158" or "one of 98"--just curious now that you've raised the issue.
