I have a ex race car body shell here and the only VIN is the one on the inner guard area. I have got all bar the fifth digit. I have tried pencil rubbing/sanding but I still can't make it out.Looks like 4742?19063
Any help you be great
That Sure looks like a "5" to me
Hi Thanks, by the 1974 vin numbers maybe it should be a 9.
That sounds right. Based on the vin table on p914 and the first 4 digits being 4742, the fifth digit must be a 9.
I agree. 29 was the code for Karmann
There is this button at the top of the page the says "914 info". Hit that and all will be revealed.
If it still has the original dash top (doesn't look like it in the pic) the number is sometimes hand written under this panel.
Yes, it has to be 47429....
Which also means it is/was a factory 4 with either 1.8 or 2.0 flat 4 - not 6. I just mention this due to your screen name & in case you're thinking that it was a factory 914-6.
And as others have said above, the 29 is for the Karmann plant where the 914 4s were built/completed, but only the shells for the 914-6s were made there during 70-72 MYs, then bodies shipped to Stuttgart for Porsche to finish - ergo a different VIN.
