I require help with my research.
Typically, the VW badge was riveted to the right headlight bucket up to the end of 1974 and made its way to the right upper corner of the fuel tank bulkhead in 1975. Also, the body number was originally stamped into the rear trunk floor and made its was to a black riveted tag on the support below the right headlight bucket, as well as being found on the Karmann badge. At some point the body number base changed from xxy95zz to xxy90zz. I require everyone to help with changeover VIN, and body number for each of the changes. Please add paint code and date code from the compliance decal as well. Attached image(s) |

@davep sciroccos use 5 (and potentially 4 and/or 6). (EDIT INSERT. forgot i found a 79 scirocco a few weeks back with the 6 in as 5th number. safe to say that both the earlier 914 numbers of 5 and 6 went across to the sciroccos). Here's the body tag from my '75 Scirocco (#11186) - made at the Karmann factory while 914 production was still ongoing, at least for another year.
