Ok folks…..I got some additional details from the dealer on this car, all from the ID sticker under the front hood. The VIN is WPOCB2961NS460662, the production date is 12/91, the paint code is L39A and the engine type-code is M6401-62N.
The 10th digit if the VIN is and N that indicates a 1992 car. This VIN is also in the range for 1992 cars as listed in Adrian Streather’s 964 Enthusiast Companion for a 1992 USA C2 cab.
The color Code L39A is for a special order paint: Amazon Green Pearl Effect (water based).
The engine code of 62N is the right engine code for the ‘92s.
The only thing the dealer could not give me was the engine serial number because he could not find it. I tried to walk him thru it but to no avail.
So, to ensure the engine in this car is one that had both the head gasket issue and the flywheel issue dealt with at the factory from day one, I need to make sure the engine serial number starts with 62N.
IS this correct???
Before purchase, I WILL have a PPI done to verify things are A OK.
Another questions: The car has some paint imperfections. Are these special order paints on Porsches hard to match by a “good” body/paint shop who works with high end cars?
Feedback would be appreciated……
