Hello everybody

The question is, is her a 1977 or a 1977.5 I still have no acces to see the engine serial number (is on her way to mexico to be restaured and taken care)
Does some know?

Hola! Bienvenido a bordo!
How'bout that, I think you might be the first Mexican member here...
According to a really old post;
| A.J. wrote: | Here's how it works:
-first 3 digits (924) model
-4th digit, model year (6,7,8 or 9)
-5th digit is the version (1=Europe,2=US,Cal.,Canada, 3=Japan)
-Last 5 digits are the serial number
-1977.5 models were given an extra "1" after the version number |
Which, given your V.I.N., would indicate you have an early one.
EDIT: However, I just realised I've actually answered this question before!
Although to be fair, 924RACR was able to elucidate the answer from my slightly cryptic response 
| 924RACR wrote: | As the 944 FAQ Model Outline link points out - cars with the engine code of XH or XF will be early '77, whereas late '77 (aka '77.5) will have the XE or XG code.
Furthermore, as a general indicator, early '77 cars will have been built in late '76, and late '77 cars will have been built in early '77 - if you have the date sticker still showing. |
