Additional Comments:

Hi Chuck,
 
I believe that I am the 4th owner of this 1989 928s4 A/T which was originally sold at Jim Ellis Porsche in Atlanta.  I bought it in 9/2004.  The first owner (a dental surgeon) had the car for some time...sold it (at 85k miles) to a Porsche broker in 1998 who had it for 8 months, 3rd owner (archictect and active Rennlist member) had the car 6-years (45k miles). Third owner poured TLC and upgrades into the car (e.g., Devek high capacity radiator, cup one wheels (from 928 Specialists with RE730s), all vacuum lines replaced, engine removed and resealed.  Serviced at Northpointe Auto (Alpharetta, GA; Joel Roeder - owner)by the 3rd owner.  Extensive service history (with receipts). No known accidents or damage.
Cosmetic condition: Original factory paint, no door dings, standard road rash and rock chips on front spoiler and hood, ubiquitous dash-bisecting crack, driver's bolster worn through (repair underway very soon...sourcing leather now).
 
Based on the VIN I was able to obtain the infomation below from
Porsche N.A. Customer Service -
 
 VIN # : 0438  
 WPO= every Porsche has this designation
 J= type designation is "S4"
 B= normally aspirated engine
 K= 1989 model year
 S= made in Stuttgart (nice to know that!)
 series #860438= 438th 928 made that year...I believe.

 
Paint color: Guards Red
Interior: Cashmere (tan leather and black trim).
 
 Finished production date:  10/4/88
(interesting that the exact date was available from Porsche NA)
 
 Option codes:
 C02 - Catalyst equipped vehicle
 018 - Sport steering wheel, 30mm offset
 158 - Blaupunkt Reno (SQR 46) - AM/FM cassette  stereo
 302 -  "928s4" type decal on rear bumper
 418 - Side protection mouldings
 570 - Improved efficiency air conditioning (rear a/c unit)
 650 - Electrical sliding roof
