914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OT: What is in a VIN #?

Posted by: 76green Jun 25 2006, 08:01 PM

My VIN is 4762903123...Just curious if there is a meaning to them. Thanks

47 = type of car
6 = year
29= I forget
03123= production number

so your car is the 3123 model 1976 produced.

29= I forget

internal number that means that it was built by Karmann

Ok, now we all know what VIN you have.

Where are some pics of the car?????

I checked for a BLOG and Nothing......

Come on, all late run 1976 cars are worth a picture.

Geoff, you're a little prejudiced, aren't you

in general I'd say all teeners are worth a pic

More meaning can be found in the chassis number, that is on the little tag in the front trunk and on the Karmann badge along with the paint code. Let me know so it can be added to the database.
