As the story goes, back in the 90s, a friend of mine had a 944Turbo S and a few of his buddies all had SILVER crests on their 944s. He was prepping his 944 for the track and was using decals on the hood instead of the metal crest, and he gave it to me. It has been in my "cool stuff" drawer ever since.
I wasn't a 944 guy, so my knowledge was/is limited about the 944. It had a 911 part number prefix on the back, so it never dawned on me to question its' existance. I HAD ONE IN MY HAND.
Anyways, I ASS U ME D that it was "real" without question.
I STILL LIKE IT BETTER THAN THE GOLD ONE, so there !
Scottyb, thank you for setting the issue of the silver emblem straight.
Now I can sleep at night.
