47 = type of car
6 = year 29= I forget 03123= production number so your car is the 3123 model 1976 produced. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |

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.
