47429xxxxx. Is the same for all 74s. The 5 numbers that follow are the # of cars built. In 74 there were a few in the 21000 range, so yes to your question but it’s not looked at in the way you describe.

In 74 there were a few in the 21000 range, so yes to your question but it’s not looked at in the way you describe. there is an active thread on a 74' VIN on the front page now, so we may get some overlap... I'm a dope and don't know shit but I've had 7 914's since 77' so I have some tribal knowledge. I've always thought the VIN was 47 for the type and then the sequence/batch that divided the production run into three sections; 290,291,292 and then the number of the car. |
