body shop lost his tags and the rear trunk floor has been replaced. Thought that there was somewhere on the site with numbers and build dates but could not find it

here is something i have on file showing those VW production plate numbers compared to vins for k g and 914.

something i had on file.
direct comparison of kg produced in 74 same time as my 914.
showing my 914 vin and production plate to compare.

i should correct a little what i said above re karmann ghias always using 5.
they are a bit more random than that.
just had a quick look at some on BAT.
its a little harder to tell what is going on.
the one i am showing here has a 5 where 914 has 9.
some later k g have a 7 there.
but i guess what it shows is that the 2 and then the 9 have nothing to do with the karmann factory when it comes to the vin sequence numbers.

1974 karmann ghia. 1/74.
(there is something funny going on with production plate because it is stamped 06 which should make its vin a 2/74. who knows. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) don't really study k g s on file to the same degree as the L jet stuff i have collected). but anyway this is the point in time they are using a 5 there where the 914 has a 9. and after the 5 is the cumulative production number of the chassis for 74 MY.

i'd have to be doing kg research to get right to the bottom of it.
and its not really something i have time for.
just something i stumbled around the edges of figuring the ins and outs of the 74 1.8s.

74 914. 1/74.
and all 914s just use the 9. always did.
but it does not mean karmann factory in the case of Vin.




the 9 certainly means karmann factory in the case of the production plate.
its the same on both cars. a 9.
its also there on the VW cabriolets on the production plate.
all cabs came from karmann.
and its probably there on sciroccos as they also had a production plate and came from karmann factory.
