On both the 914/4 and the 914/6 the chassis # is hand written with a grease pencil. This is on the underside of the dash in the area over the ashtray, and could cover 10" in length. These are often very faded. Nearly impossible to see with the dash installed.
The 1970 914/6 has a short body chassis # with the year digit missing while the dash # does have the year digit in place. For early 914/6 the dash and body numbers generally will not match, but will be close; later they became synchronized somewhere near 2600. In 1970 model year the chassis # in the rear trunk floor was stamped in the center for both models. From 1971 model year the numbers were in front of the right tail light housing. I do not know if this was strictly a model year change or if there was a transition period. At least one very late 1970 MY 914/6 with Sporto has a 1971 MY body. At present there is a concerted effort to collect data on the 914/6 from COA's. It would be very useful to add chassis number data and dates from the compliance decal. |

Compliance decal only on North American cars; but this is the best way to date the production completion of a car. The existing COA I have came from owners submissions in the past and from those posted on the web. Transmission #'s that are not listed on the COA, but known should be submitted also. |

Glenn Stazak has been running a 914-6 registry page for a few decades.
http://www.stazak.com/914reg/ A few of us have been compiling the VIN-engine-chassis mapping for quite some time, me included. cheers, dug ???? - by whom & obtained from what sources? are we invited to submit our COA's to someone? fwiw - my germany origin car, gray-imported in 1976, has no compliance decal, and i'd be surprised if any other RoW cars have one You can submit to me since I am entering them into a database.
