Please forgive me if this has been discussed in the past. If so please direct me to the information.
I have found five types of door jamb stickers on US spec. cars. They are: 914-6 -- all are silver and have Porsche as the builder The 914-4 types always say Volkswagenwerk AG 914-4/1 -- silver or black and do not have gross or axle rates -- used through at least 11/71 914-4/2 -- Says TYPE PASSENGER CAR lower right -- have only seen one dated 5/72 and has the weights and was black 914-4/3 -- Says TYPE PASSENGER CAR at the top, has weights and is silver or black -- have many data points from 8/72 - 12/74 914-4/4 -- Says TYPE PASSENGER CAR lower left, has weights and is silver or black -- used by at least 4/75 The silver and black seem to be used randomly (except on 914-6s). I have one of each dated 12/74. Any clues? Does anyone know anything in addition and/or can you provide additional dates that can fill the gaps above? [attachmentid=752 473] Attached image(s) |

ps
vin sticker in all the cars is loveable. front weight, rear weight, dead equal. colin chapman would be grinning in heaven? re vin sticker colors. another thought. given only north american cars have the vin labels in the door jamb and also the plate visible through the windscreen. is it possible the silver stickers further distinguish californian bound cars - black stickers are for 49 state cars? or vice versa. the 73 1.7 came in two versions for the usa, one a 49 state version with 59kw power and one a california version with 53kw. from what i have seen the same labels are found on all vw vehicles sold in north america during those years. i'm not very sure about dates that californian standards exceeded federal standards and when all that might have kicked in. |
