Jeff H's photo shows the chassis tag used on the late production cars. With the introduction of these tags there were other changes: (1) the format of the number changed from xxy95zz to xxy90zz, when daily production exceeded 99 cars the 5 or 0 would be incremented to 6 and 1 respectively. (2) the chassis number that was previously stamped into the Karmann badge on the drivers door hinge post was omitted. (3) the chassis number stamped into the rear trunk floor was omitted.
From my research it appears that the change occurred between the 36th and 40th week of 1974. VIN's from about 4752902800 got the new chassis #, but the old chassis # could still be found past 4752903000. This was Sept / Oct timeframe, although I have no specific Sept data at this time. Any further info on cars from this period to help nail down the transition would be appreciated. |
