2 576 ppendix : Production Information Introduction The first part of this appendix provides the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), engine and transmission code breakdowns. From this information it will then be possible for a potential 964 purchaser to determine the validity of the VIN when doing a prepurchase inspection. More information on the VINs and codes related to prepurchase can be found in Chapter 2. The rest of this appendix is devoted to providing production data. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) The VIN used by Porsche for the whole 964 series is the international 17 digit system. There are two VINs: Rest of the world (ROW) VIN identifies the 964 as being built to ROW specifications. Example: WP0ZZZ96ZKS = 1989 Carrera 4 Coupe. The VIN is found on a data plate, installed in the luggage compartment attached to the right front inner fender. It is very near the right headlight assembly. US VIN identifies the 964 as being built to US specifications. Example: WP0CB2969RS = 1994 Speedster. The VIN is found on a plate attached to the left front pillar and can be viewed from the outside through the windshield.

Existing data shows 673 delivered to the US in This is not correct because the highest Cabriolet serial number known in the US in 1990 is 2067, built in June Deciphering VIN codes Digit Code Explanation 1 W Country of origin (Federal Republic of Germany) 2 P Dr. Ing. h. c.

7 ppendix : Production Information 581 Engine number codes The engine number code is located on the engine block, on the right side of the crankcase next to the fan housing. The engine code consists of 8 digits and is the same for all versions. Example: 62K86401 is an M64/01 engine installed in a 1989 Carrera 4 (normally aspirated). Deciphering engine codes Digit Code Explanation 1 6 Number of cylinders K L M N P R Turbocharged engine Normally aspirated engine 1989 (production model year) to 8 Serial number of the specific engine NOTE NOTE Digit 4 is exclusive to models. In model year 1991 this number became a 5. So from this model year onwards the M64/02 engine for the could be identified separately.
