Looking at the 914 Info data, I happened to notice some strange irregularities.
The VIN and build date information do not corrolate in all cases. Is this an owner mis-reading the build date, or a factory anomaly? If the later, why? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Examples: 4702901002 12/69 4702901050 01/70 4702901066 12/69 4702901121 12/69 4702901140 01/70 4702901162 12/69 4702901654 12/69 4702901815 12/69 4702901984 03/70 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) 4702902094 01/70 4702902365 01/70 4702902543 01/70 4702902612 01/70 4702902844 11/69 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) 4702903114 01/70 |

QUOTE(SirAndy @ Feb 21 2010, 12:52 AM)  The VIN was added to the chassis at Karman at build time while the US date sticker was most likely added before the car was actually shipped to the US. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Andy This would make the most sense. If a customer ordered a specific color or options group it could be pulled out of line and shipped with an earlier build date. Whereas if a car was damaged during assembly or required additional work it would have a later build date. |
