911 Weissach Edition FAQ

9/29/02 Redwood Region PCA concours at Ledson Winery in Northern CA.
Kurt Fischer (the photographer) said he met Bruce Anderson there!
Kurt is putting together a Weissach registry, all Weissach owners, 924, 928, and any other models are welcome to contact him via e-mail at truk50@ix.netcom.com...

I paid far too much on Yahoo Auctions for a copy of this 924 Weissach ad 924 Weissach Edition advertisement... If I could have just bid on the entire magazine, it would have seemed a better deal, but now I can't even tell which issue of which magazine it came from - anybody know when the Weissach 924 came out?

Just discovered! Information on a Weissach 928 model!

Here's some info on what the 928 version's options are purported to be:

all of the cars were the "champagne gold" color (sorry, no reference material to provide you with the correct name/paint code for this)
the cars came with 16"x7" forged slot wheels that were anodized in a "gold-tone" finish
probably the most unique thing about the Weissach cars was that a color-coordinated LUGGAGE SET was available for these cars!

Thanks to 'Brad' from the Rennlist for this info!

This also in from Chris B.:

	Panorama September 1980 Special Edition Weissach Coupe Arrives pg. 20 Basic product announcement accompanied by photo of platinum metallic car. Note: car does not seem to have headlight washers. 400 units produced. Colors of interior and exterior mentioned. Wheels one inch wider than standard. Front and rear spoilers. Other options included as standard: sport shocks, electric mirrors both sides, rear speakers, electric antenna. Halogen sealed-beam headlights a new item from the factory.

Doric Grey leather with burgundy piping. Original tires: Pirelli CN36 15" (185/70 VR 15 and 215/60 VR 15). Several photos of platinum car, with a good interior picture.
	European Car November 1991 1980 911SC Weissach Coupe Dennis Adler pp.38-41 Cover photo plus general exterior/interior photos. Car displayed has polished wheels without painted spokes and carpeting matching the Doric Grey interior - so much for originality. This was apparently due to fire damage, and replacements had not been located at that time. Mention is made that the carpeting is no longer available from Porsche. Headlight washers not depicted nor mentioned either. Classified as 'boulevardiers' and a 'marketing ploy', though performance options are credited.
	Panorama October 1994 Letters The Changing Table Steve Anderson pg. 10 Another Weissach owner writes in - changing baby's diapers on the tail.

Reynold, Bill
Porsche The Pursuit of Excellence
New York: Crescent Books,1993

This is basically another coffee-table book, with some nice pictures inside. It was given to me as a gift by my girlfriend's mother, who did not realize the car on the cover was a metallic black Weissach just like mine, though with Euro headlights. The same car is shown on pages 62 through 65, though no mention is made of its special edition status. The car has Indiana plates.

Wright, Nicky
Porsche The Enduring Legend
New York: Gallery Books,1990

Another coffee-table book, though with more text than the previous item. The same car is included, in the same poses, with a couple extra shots. Here, however, it is referenced as a Weissach Edition in the captions, and a short description is given. Original price is listed as $32,000. Photos and descriptive text are on pages 11 and 96-101.
