Where can I find how to figure out the manfacture date
for the sign in left door hinge?

It says L041 and that is the color.
The other number is deliverydate.
Where can I check when it was manufactured ?

I can't find it here in 914world.

Here's how to decode your chassis number:

Andy gave you the decoder for the chassis number (use a 19xx calendar for the year it was actually made - usually a month or a few before it was first sold, week number there starts counting even with one day in it ~ 1/1/19xx), but just to be clear, that is not the "delivery date", but rather the date assigned to the chassis when the body was complete - more or less.

I say the latter because in my case the chassis number comes out to 8/31/72, & my US VIN sticker date is 8/72, but it's clearly impossible to have completed a 914 in one day from a body shell/chassis! Otherwise,mine is the fasted completed 914 in history! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Delivery date from the factory or to a dealer should be several days to weeks after the chassis number date (or month +/- overseas to USA, Asia, etc.).

Ok Thanks Tom.

The car is 1973.

The sign says 1419509:

Week 14
Day 1
Body no 9 that day.

Thanks everybody.
