Bama 94teen. If I duplicated this thread - sorry - had computer problems. I thought my 75, 2.0 was matching, but now I am puzzled. S/N: 4752902551 - OK - a 75. Body: 4019004 - I have no clue how to match body numbers. Color: L97A - Diamond Silver Metalic - here is where it gets interesting. L97A was only offered to LE in 75, but was a 76 option. The 75s were (according to book) late 75s, but my S/N is not a late number. Ok for the real wierd part - motor number: GC003809. Not 000, but 00. The 3809 indictaes a 76 motor, BUT I have doen history on car and contacted previous owners (2) and motor has NEVER beeen changed. Could I have a wierd 75? I challange the 914 gods/gurus to explain. Yes - I am a type A/ anal person, but this stuff bothers me. I have been told I have an LE 75, but who knows. All I do know is after all this work, my 21st car is the most fun I have ever had. At 55, what took me so long to go through BMW, Audi, MG, VW, to find this secret you guys have been holding?
Thanks in advance to anyone who knows and cares. Gonin for a drive. |

The only way to know if it is 'numbers matching' is to get the COA.
4752902551 1975 #2551 10/74 build 4019004 40th week of 1974, Monday, 4th welded chassis that day (just practicing) L97A Silver paint for 1975 (only offered to LE in 75 ?? no idea what you mean) GC003809 00 is correct, and should be in a 1976. It was not made for about 10 months after your car. |

Many paint charts do not recognise the L97A till 76, but one chart said themade a limited number with this diamond silver in 75. I know they made a boat load of plain silver metalic, but very few diamonds in 75. What is the "silver series? |

Thinking I may have Silverseries - have console, spoiler, timnted windows, L97A paint, rear defog, - all the goodies, but my serial number is not a late model year run.
