The trunk stamp, located directly in the center under the latch on factory 6 cars, is the Karman body number. On a real 6, it is 6 digits and starts with '13'
On four's it is in the lower right corner.

Karmann number:
1970 starts with 130 ####, 1971 starts with 131#### and 1972 starts with 132####. They are serial number indicating the order of produced not a combination code like the 4 cylinder cars. The VIN number is order of completion.
They are stamped in the center of the rear trunk on the 1970 914/6 and on the passenger side of the rear of the trunk for 1971 and 1972.
914/6s do not have the Karmann number stamped in the badge, just the paint code.

US cars were required to have VIN plate on the driver's side window frame and a DOT sticker in the driver's door jam.
