Brett,

Thank you so much.
This is invaluable information.
Even the Porsche Spec Book, Ludvigsen Excellence and Barth Porsche Book don’t have this information.
Please help make it as complete as possible.

Do you have (or can you get) a Porsche ‘Certificate of Authenticity’ (CoA) for your 911?
Please post an image.
Are there decals on the underside of the hood? Other?
Can you remove the passenger-side knee-pad and post an image of the ‘chassis build number’?

Is there any way to tell the original Porsche red for the ’telefon’ wheels?

Brett, can you find information from the Italian importer or the selling dealer(s)?
Was there a ‘window sticker’ for your car?
What does the ‘Warranty Book’ show?
Was there unique ‘Service Information’ or spare parts list?
It would unusual for Porsche to not have a part number for the “Carrera ST” decal and other.
With a (seemingly) unique engine type number, it would uncharacteristic for Porsche to not list the specifications.
I’m sure this will be a challenge but it is a worthwhile adventure.
If we don’t record this information now, it will be lost forever.

Please help fill-in the other information.

EDIT in RED
To summarize thus far:
911 Carrera ST
Model year 1984
Type 911330 (Normal M491 ‘Turbo-look’ type?NO In the prior system this would be 1983 RoW coupe.)
VIN WPOZZZ91ZES100490 to WPOZZZ91ZES100499 (Normal RoW sequence ...0001 to ...4033.)
Build number (Need to find sequence.)
Engine Type 930/30 typo, should read 930/20. (New number, not previously reported anywhere I can find. Specifications unknown.NO) (930/20 = Normal RoW 3.2 Carrera)
Engine numbers 63Exxxxx to 63Ezzzzz. (What number range?) (Is the first digit unique?)
Transmission Type 915/67 (Normal production number.)
Transmission number 73Exxxxx to 73Ezzzzz. (What number range) (Is the first digit unique?) (Is there “12” for LSD?)
Paint L908, Grand Prix White.
Interior: “Blue Porsche cloth/skai” (Need clarification.) (Is there a code for this?)
My old eyes jumped a line seeing a ‘20’ as ‘30’.

Brett, please help fill-in the missing numbers and info.





This ’84 Carrera ST raises the question: Are there other small ‘Special Production’ series of 911s?
If the Italian importer can get Porsche A.G to build these, so can others.
We know of the twenty 1984 911SC/RS Type 954 and its unique 930/18 engine (basically ‘homologation specials’).
In 1986, Porsche Cars GB was responsible for Porsche developing the 911 Turbo SE (the more widely produced ‘Slant Nose’).
If there are others, what are they? Where are they?


Amazingly it took Jim (Pelican Dualler) finding a wiki post to uncover this where the best Porsche researchers (Ludvigsen and Barth) omitted it.

Best,
Grady
