compare Karmann chassis numbers in the trunk to determine when the shells were made. the body factory didn't lead sequentially into the production facility (where VINs were assigned). this is especially true for the /6's ... |

I've been researching this recently and it is quite interesting. I've corresponded with bumble (in Australia) and I don't think the car has a chassis #. In the 900 range the chassis are most likely November with completion dates in December. I'm trying to figure out the 69<>70 VIN split. 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.
On the sixes, gms has a nice one in #12. I personally have gone over #33 and it still has its 11/69 date code on the decal. It has the really weird paint code of "29 / 29" where I was expecting to just see "29". Its chassis # is 130008, so I'm guessing that several early cars did not have chassis #'s. |
