Interesting thing about my car is that in the doors, a normal 73 has the beems in the doors for side impact, heavyer doors, but mine has no beams (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) .. unlike from my other 73 (which I chopped up).

early 73? Hmm...

Yes, early '73 didn't have the side beams.

The "29" is the number for the Karmann factory.

Earliest would be my son's 4702910911......the others are much younger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think the guy in Novato would win with the 04 car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)

my car: 47 02 912181


from the "Das Grosse VW-Porsche Buch" ...

for 914/4:
(example) 47 02 912181

47 = type number = Model 914
02 = year code = 1970
9+ = # Count = 12181


for 914/6:
(example) 914 0 4 3 1234

914 = type number = Model 914
0 = year code = 1970
4 = engine code = 2L - 6 Cyl - 110 HP
3 = body type = Roadster
1234 = # Count

Andy,

I always thought that the '9' in both the VIN and chassis number (rear trunk and front drivers door) was the factory # code for Osnabruk...where all 914s were bornded...

Right/wrong?

Redshift...what is the paint code for your car? Your VIN is in the 914 LE VIN range...

L96M. It's black over the original marathon now.

Don't spray it on your tires, on the 911 BBS I heard it eats the rubber.

Come on who has a newer car than me... I only know of one.....

I know 914'ers can handle a can of WD40 safely.
But the 911 boys need training.

Sir Andy, If I read you right, the 3rd and fourth # is the production year? That would mean my car was the 52nd year? That would make my car a 2021 model?
I found this years ago,
4=4 cylinder or type 4(can't remember)
75= year model
29= factory code
05503= yearly production number.


Rusty,0001? Cool!

yours is earlier than mine but not by much; they might have shared the assembly line - my engine number is 164 ...

I thought it was type 47, then the model year.
470 = 1970
471 = 1971
etc.
