I just got the car home, and I am trying to find out anything about the car.
I know the car is a 74 with a 2.0, but I have no idea about originality, and I would hate to begin chopping up a car if it's anything special.  |

It's in our VIN database. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...yVIN=4742915814 And it falls within the VIN rage for LE cars. So if the original paint code is either "L04I" Black or "L80E" Light Ivory it could be a LE. Other than that, the VIN does not tell you much. You could get a COA if you really want to know what the car shipped with originally. Is the Karmann plate still attached to the drivers side door post? http://www.914world.com/bbs2/sources/actio..._helppaint.html (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |
