1/70 and the number is 945.
4/70 5566

Both those dates do not look correct. Please verify, photos are nice. Oh, and check the stamped VIN's. There is one in the 900's that has a 600 decal where only the 6 was wrong. Not the first mistake we have seen.

So I may be contacting many of you for more info, and particularly the paint code & chassis # from the Karmann tag and the date code from the decal.

mine was late in the '70 production run, but here it is:

VIN: 470.29.12181
Chassis: 3329543
Paint: "Signal Orange" #1410 - Code: "L 20 E"

no stickers anywhere that survived ...

Here are some examples: the Karmann badge on drivers door hinge post has the paint code. For the 914/4 it also has the chassis #.

Chassis # in the rear trunk floor. In 1970 is is in front of the trunk lock.
From 1972 it is in front of the right taillight. Chassis # for the six is completely different than the 914/4.

I've spoken with Glenn about the car. It is very interesting. But a build date of Dec 1 is bogus. I have seen a car with Nov 1969 date code that is later than Glenn's car. I think that Dec 1 date comes from a COA, and oftentimes they have the first day of the month. Well, I know they built on more days than just the first of the month. So either they don't know the date and try to be too precise or they are just being sloppy.

That is why I say the build date of Glenn's car has to be before Dec 1, 1969.
I also have 9140430019 being built in Oct 69 and 0059 in Nov 69.
