开云体育Granite Green with ivory interior?? Looks like it's a 87 due to
the lack of side moudlings and the early style foglight
bumperettes.? Is the VIN less than 1000?? Could have a squirter
block too if so. Nice!!! Was almost tempted to pull mine out for a wash, but got distracted :D.

Granite Green with linen or ivory, hard to tell ?
Yes, 87, but i'm not sure the mouldings weren't removed for a poor quality paint job.
What's a squirter block?
Updated the headlights to 8" e-codes
The car is for sale if anyone is interested.? Endplay measurements were good.? Has > 125K miles on the odo, but not sure if that's accurate.

Linen is the color I was thinking about.? It's a great color in combination with the Granite Green.
A squirter block is one that has little holes in the bottom of the bore that shoot oil on the underside of the pistons to keep them cool.? For some who build these engines that's a benefit, but others suggest it contributes to the "mist" of oil that is entrained in the crankcase and eventually sucked back into the intake.?
I think there is a VIN cutoff where Porsche quit using these squirters (generally VIN under 1000) so early 87's.?
Also, if it's an early 87 it may have ultra cool, but totally worthless flip up rear wing.? A complex and fragile hinge under the rear wing that allows it to be lifted up to clean the bottom part of the rear glass.? It breaks easily and is expensive to replace.? It has also been reported to rattle a bit so generally annoying.?
If you look under the mounting area of the rear wing you should see some of the hinge mechanism.? Also, to lift it up, especially after not doing it for a long while, it'll take some effort to lift.? If you do test, make sure it's a hinge before yanking on it :D .
