Production Numbers

Is there any way to find out Porsche Turbo production by model and color?
I'm looking for an Ice Blue Coupe 6 speed and may even consider a Turbo S. This was a short run color. I've seen some cabrio's and a coupe in Canada.
Thanks

the folks on renntech might be able to help. They usually have this kind of detailed, manufacturer-related information at the ready.

Have you tried calling the head office in the USA? When I contacted the head office in Australia they told me there were 19 997 Turbo S's in Australia at that time and that mine was the only Ice Blue Metallic Turbo S in the country.

A good Aussie like you should have an HSV W427 Commodore or a Monaro CV8Z.

Here was mine at the drag strip:



A few more of the pair of converted GTOs back to the original Monaro:

"A good Aussie like you should have an HSV W427 Commodore or a Monaro CV8Z."

The 427's are a rare beast indeed and as such tend to be garage queens. Not so the CV8 Monaros which we see regularly.

End of hijacked post!!
