Well, I have 4742916447 listed as having a DOT decal showing 04/74. Its chassis #, 1419544, translates as week 14. There being about 4 weeks to a month, that puts the chassis being built about the second week of April. Now 4742916694 is 247 VIN's past that car. Also 4742914936 is shown as 02/74, so to be generous it could be that March production of all 914's was 1511. With 23 production days in March that would mean an average of 66 per day. So how did they get 4 days worth of production on April 1? An April fools day joke no doubt. Maybe they only worked one day a week. Or they could have worked only one week per month on the model, then changed to something else. What else was Karmann running on the line during the same period? Surely 914 production was not the only model there, there was not enough volume to justify an exclusive line.
