Hi All

Have seen this on an unrestored car…does anybody have anymore details…? I assume the 022 refers to the 1.7L but what about the other number?

Any insight would be appreciated…thanks

ok mr. b

mine is an EC-B on that sticker. jan 74 build.

i am pretty sure the ink stamp is 604. you can see photo above.
the last number is very smeared.


hadn't read that sticker closely before.
says conforms to EPA regs for 74 model year.
guess that answers a question i had once.
how did smog laws apply, model year or calendar year.
looks like sticker indicates smog laws effect in USA model year for all cars?


EDIT
looks like starbear got himself a california car?
i got a 49 state car.
but there is also another form of the 74 california car?
so i take back what i say about EPA laws and model years.
starbears got a story about his being karmann plated late in 73 and then vin numbered much later in mar 74 or something like that.
sounds like his could have been a valid order california car that had to get diverted to 49 states due to something going on with california in 74?

i'd always read that the 74 1.8s were a single USA wide conforming model.
i came across that somewhere. basically met california smog laws and they sold them everywhere in continental USA.
