A leading '0' usually means standard coupé, for the RoW markets. For the 944 and 968, US cars are usually identified by a leading '5'. 944 convertibles have a leading '3' (RoW) or '8' (US). Sometimes this model code extends into the 14th digit, such as for the 968 CS which had chassis numbers beginning with '15'.[4]
