Is there a VIN stamped in the trunk somewhere? If so, what is the location?

The VIN is stamped on top of the passenger side fender (inside the front trunk). The chassis number is stamped in the rear trunk.

Hi Andy
May I suggest ?
Two additions are necessary in your chassis reference photos.
914 6 chassis numbers are stamped into the center of the rear trunk floor in front of
the latch receiver.
The Karmann ID tag on a 914 6 drivers hinge post has only the color info stamped
into it. Unlike the 4 cyl. cars, no chassis number is stamped in.

I do mention the center location on early cars (not just /6s), i'll add your pic for reference.

I also mention that the Karmann plate only has a chassis number for /4 cars but maybe i should make this more clear and explicitly state that the /6 cars do not have it on the plate.

9/75 assembled. 76MY.

Thanks to SirAndy, I found all my VIN/body numbers EXCEPT the one in the trunk...














Original paint. No rust. Am I looking in the wrong area?

Fourth pictures is chassis number. Late 74 and all 75,76 have the tag in the front trunk, NO number in the rear trunk. Notice it is the same as the Karman door tag. As an added bonus, most dash metal frames will have chassis number on it too. Adding pictures from a July 1974 car.

Thanks!

Just to clarify, am I reading this by SirAndy incorrectly, or does it need correction, or is there a difference of opinion on wether later cars had the chassis number stamped in the trunk?

The Chassis Number is stamped into your rear trunk floor, either in front of the rear trunk lock (early cars) or to the right of it (later models), in front of the passenger side tail-light.
