This is for a 1974 car missing it’s door sticker. the body number on the plate and rear trunk is 0439512. I believe that translates to;
4th week of the Year, so January 3 day of the week, so Wednesday? 9 is factory 512 car build that year? Am I reading that correctly? Thanks! |

I believe that translates to; 4th week of the Year, so January 3 day of the week, so Wednesday? 9 is factory 512 car build that year? Am I reading that correctly? Thanks! Chassis Number 0439512 translates to the 12th car made on Wednesday, January 23, 1974 at the Karmann Plant in Osnabrück, Germany. If over 100 cars were made in the same day the '95' in the Chassis No. changes to '96' to indicate such. For example on this day if over 100 cars were made, the Karmann Chassis numbers would go up to 0439599 then switch to 0439601 and so on until the last car was made that day. I think it is rare but I have seen a couple of 914s with a 96 rather than a 95. |
