Did Porsche make a 944 Turbo S in 1988 other than the Silver/Rose color for the US?

Yes, the vin will help, eng # tells all.

Thanks! Thats what I needed. I knew of all the differences by looking at the car but sometimes you can only see pictures (Net), So you need the VIN to know what kind of car it is.
