Are you asking about the chassis number? That is different than the VIN. The chassis number would be stamped in the rear trunk floor in the panel that connects to the taillight panel. Should be to the right of the trunk lock on the floor of the trunk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Sorry Todd - I misread your message. @Cairo94507 Michael is correct. The chassis #is in back there but not in the center. Plus, the chassis # isn't part of the set of numbers that ID the car. Many 914 trunk floors have been replaced/removed and there's nothing "funny" about that # missing. Now, if a car was represented as "original", that'd certainly matter. But this car ain't that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

The Karmann body (Chassis) number Was stamped into the rear trunk floor from 1970 through most of 1974, was later located on a metal plate riveted to the right inner front wheelwell. Only for 1970 was the Karmann # stamped in front of the lock; from 1971 model year it was located in front of the right taillight.

Wonders never cease... |

I was one of the first to figure out the Karmann body # about 1977. I blame it on being a physicist and seeing patterns in numbers. But the more I know, the more I realize how little I know. As I collect more data I get to see more anomalies and so I get to learn a few more little secrets. After 50 years I still learn more things almost daily. And loving it.
