Body serial number. . . from Karman, How to decode Options

[toolguy]

I know there was a thread about this but I can't find it. . . anyone remember how to decode the Karman body number thats stamped in the trunk floor by the lock ?? Mine is 131657. . it was something about the first 3 digits are the month and day ??
Also I think I remember reading about another number stamped under the dash. . . Am I making that up, because I don't have one there . .
Thanks for any help

• For '70 - '74 914-4 cars the Chassis Number is stamped on the "Karmann" plate that is attached to the drivers-side front door jamb. It's a small black plate that also has your paint code on it. In the example below, the Chassis Number is 0759607.
• For '75 - '76 914-4 cars the Chassis Number is also on a small tag riveted to the passenger side headlight support. In the example below, the Chassis Number is 361-9022.
• The Chassis Number is stamped into your rear trunk floor, either in front of the rear trunk lock (early cars) or to the right of it (later models), in front of the passenger side tail-light.
• The Chassis Number is handwritten on the backside of your dashboard subframe.
• The chassis Number should always have 7 digits, except early 914-6 cars, which can have a 6 digit Number.
