aside from the weird detuned smog 32V Euro's.......982GT has a pretty good guide as to what's Euro/ROW and what's not--

basically.....

78-82 there is a 4.5L 16V Euro engine>>>> 229HP (KJet injection w/single distributor)

80-83 there is a 4.7L 16V Euro engine>>>> 300HP (KJet injection w/single distributor)

84-86 there is a 4.7L 16V Euro engine>>>> 310HP (LJet injection w/twin distributors)

engine stamping numbers are listed on the 928GT website.

word of caution:

with time, some of these engines (and their parts) have been exchanged for US spec engines/parts. if you suspect that you don't have the correct Euro engine/parts, you should confirm block stamping numbers--head, cam, intake, and throttle body casting numbers.

as to VIN numbers, yes, the ZZZ appeared after 82 if memory serves me correctly.

as to the car itself, you will find side front fender turn signals (behind the front wheel well), rear fog lights (right rear side for RHD--left rear side for LHD), Euro front fog lights, and instrument clusters/gauges/HVAC controller written in German/metric (there are exceptions to this). Euro's that were Federalized for import into the US typically had the KPH speedo changed out for a MPH gauge, crash/side impact bars installed in the doors, and side marker lamps installed front and rear (some didn't get fronts, most got both), and CATs---there are exceptions to all of this as well, depending upon the company/person doing the Federalization........
