Looking at my chassis number, I figured out when my car was built (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) base on this thread: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=129279

It looks like it was built on Thursday June 14th of 1973. Having chassis number 2449628, my car would be the 628th one produced that day! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Unless I screwed up, this seems like a big number for a single day, knowing they made about 27,000 of them that year...

So, what was the production rate of our little cars at the Karmann Osnabrueck factory?

Does the guide apply to 914 6 as well ?
If not, how can '6' production date be determined ?

Early /6 cars only had 6 digit chassis numbers.
