73 MY 914S Build Date Question, ...is it August or Sept 1972?? Options

[Tom_T]

Okay folks,

I've owned my early-73 MY 914-2.0 (914S for Pat G. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ), and I looked at the VIN label on the driver's door jamb, but the build date could either be an "8" but missing one of the "punch-dots" in the left side of the lower loop, or a "9" with an "extra dot" (& don't ask about the COA - no help there).

... so which is it ???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'm also aware of another 73 MY VIN 01102 built 9/72, & another on here VIN 01654 built 8/72 IIRC - & both are earlier VINs than mine - so did they build VINs out of date order?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

My VIN Door Jamb Label:



... and here's my project to restore - finally outside last Sunday before the "monsoon" hit!






... Lotsa work for me to do, to say the least!

...continued from last post ....

... cont. from last post ... & another from 72 MY carpet samples, but apparently my #503 Dark Tan wasn't available then:

& a pic of my OE #503 "Dark Tan" Loop Pile carpet (sort of a tan & brown speckled or oatmeal color) - which I think is the same in SMG Saraha Beige Steve's Cherry 73 914-2.0: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Here is my 1st Erroneous COA which shows #31 from the Kardex on my 914, incorrectly as "Black" (which is #11 in the charts above) & 2nd COA shows the same, but they updated it to a GA000424 & 914 2.0 after I submitted pix of the engine case # to PCNA:


.

... well, my interior pix posted previously in this post certainly do NOT look like "Black" to me, & I doubt that they do to anyone else!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Since PCNA has said that the #31 for the interior color appears on the Kardex for my 914, I presume it was just an error in "interpreting" the code number to color by their COA staff or outside servicer who did the first 2 COAs showing this error.

The preceding were the documentation which I sent to the PCNA Customer Service GM, in the hopes of getting my COA corrected, & that I hope will come back correct this time (3rd time the charm??)!!
