Hi,
The ZZZ has nothing to do with a Sonderwünch program. That was merely to fill the gap in the VIN to reach the number of signs needed here in Europe. The US cars got a shorter VIN, but usually the ZZZ number is visible, e.g. behind the gas tank. At least it was there on my -86 US Carrera. That the car in question still retains its ZZZ VIN on the title just means its not federalized in the US.
Just noticed that the ebay ad show the wrong VIN compared to the invoice. Should be WPOZZZ91ZFS101379 not, WPOZZZ91ZF101379. Or is it WP0ZZZ91ZFS101379 instead of WP0ZZZ91ZF101379? Can't tell if the third digit is a 0 (zero) or an 0....
The 4th Z I have no idea about.
However, it looks like a nice car, and according to the description it has the valuable turbo brake system, and turbo suspension, even though no pictures show that. I havent seen a factory M491 with fake Testarossa vents yet though. Wonder what database the turbolook guy has access to when he can find out information not on the factory invoice?
Porsche buyers are usually well educated, especially the overseas buyers looking at US Ebay. IMHO the description of this car will make potential buyers run in the other direction, and the car will probably sell for less.
Reg. the 3.5 l engine, cant you get sued for making a statement like that if not true? You most definately would here in Sweden, and we dont have 0.000001 % of the number of lawyers you have in the US....
Regards,
Johan
