Hi
I am looking at a 1970 914/6, it has vin sticker and metal tag but numbers in the trunk do not match. Is this correct? Also, code is 14 for signal orange, but it looks like tangerine? Is that possible they mad an error in the tag? |

If you're referring to the front trunk VIN plate, the VIN will match the A-pillar VIN and the sticker in the drivers door jam.
If you're referring to the number stamped on the floor of the rear trunk, I agree with Skip; the chassis number will not match the VIN. My understanding is that the cars were manufactured in Austria and the Chassis Number was stamped on their assembly line. The cars received their VIN's afterwords at Zuffenhausen by Porsche. This is why the Chassis Numbers never matche the VIN's. Knowing the German's, I doubt that the color number on your car was wrong. Do you have a pic? My six has no number stamped on the Karman plate. Hope this helps. Eddie |
