Yep....I`m sure you got those off the top of your head...

Heres a link for 924/944 production numbers...

http://www.connact.com/~kgross/FAQ/944faq03.html

I own one of 13,616 931s built. Compare that to 121,289 NA 924s and I`d have to say.....it will be more of a collectible/classic. I wonder how many are still roaming the streets after 21-25 years. The numbers have to be dwindling.

I have all that memorized. It would be really cool to get an idea of how many are still around. I would imagine of those few are on the road. I've never seen another 924 on the road here in Denver. Plenty of 944's though. Jinx you fancy pants with an ROW. Is your steering wheel on the right side?

I have a 931 options question. You know the buttons in our mid dash. I've got power mirrors but the other three spaces are filled with blanks. Wondering what other options there were to fill those. My '80 owner's manual wasn't much help.

I think the other small switches were for rear window wiper option and front headlight washer.

Sry guys, just realized that link I left wasn`t working....all good now.
Guess thats what happens after drinking a few beers.

As far as 924s in this area....I`ve seen just two 924S but no early model 924s......and never a turbo. I think I have the market cornered in this area by having 3 of them

4th optional switch is probably the front driving/fog lights - mine are #1rear wiper, #2headlamp washer, #3unused, #4front lamps.

As for numbers of Turbo's, there's one in my area i see fairly often and another one i've seen only a couple of times. Also a black CGT that was up for sale at the place we bought our car from, but which i've only seen on the road once. Not a great lot of n/a's around but we do see them from time to time.
