I couldn't find a vin tag anywhere. The trailer guys did say it was an older style. While they couldn't confirm it was a 1972. They thought it was probably right. I'll look some more this weekend. If I can't find a vin anywhere I am not going to worry about it.

What do you think if I can't find it anywhere if I engrave the numbers in an oddball place under the trailer. Just as a precaution if it was stolen in the future?

the vin should be stamped into the front A-frame section.

Good score (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

It's probably an old travel trailer chasis rebuilt to what you have now.

I wouldn't haul anything heaver than a 914 in it.

Jamie, maybe it's an LE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Check for some orange under that black paint.

No worries, it was probably a makeover.

Damn I tell you what. It has been so damn cold the last week. No way I am going ot work out in my barn. Even with a nice 3 burner propane heater I freeze unless it is on my back. It also will not heat up my barn. It is just to big & open. So I am oging to use my new trailer/shop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .

I'm going to pull my LE into my trailer. I'll be able to heat that area so much better. I'll be much more apt to go out to work in something I don't have to bundle up in. Already my trailer is coming in handy. Plus I have some paint touch up I've got to do. Be much better in the trailer than in my barn. Actually I have to repaint both my trunks. Damn rust bubbles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Oh well at least it is the trunks & I can make those look good. Nothing like having newer paint with rust issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . I'll make it work though. Damn close to having the Creamsicle finished finally. I can't wait to say goodbye to that beautiful 914 (that has been my curse of a restoration the last 3 years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) )

Nice score Jamie. That thing is screaming for some cool graphics on the side. Maybe some kind of Grasshopper scheme. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grasshopper914.jpg) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Yeah I would like to put something cool on there. A nice graphic of a 914 plus my 914rustorations & website. Those could be small though. Who out there does the wraps or graphics & needs some parts to take in trade (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I'd be happy to help any of my buddies move a car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Just so long as it doesn't end up as part of my herd (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
