correct color VIN decal??? Options

[dmenche914]

thanks for the advice, the AA website has VIN door decals, they list the 70-71 as a silver one, and the later years as black. My 72 year model has a silver decal, not black (build date 10-71)

Can some one confirm that a late 71 build date, 72 year model car is supposed to have a silver decal?

Any idea when the factory switched color of the decal, it appears it was not at the 71/72 year model break as the AA catalog suggests.

It depends on the color of the car not the year.

I am pretty sure thaats correct too, as I know of no contradictions.

I have two 1974 914s.

My august 1973 build date white car has a black label.

My March 1974 build date black car has a silver label.

I have seen a variety of labels too depending on year and smog equip reqs.
