Two markings on the dash frame of my 1975 four.

One is the chassis code

davep,

Some of us with 914-6s apparently have no chassis numbers. The chassis plate is blank and the trunk floor is not stamped. I think you asked for '71 and '72 cars in particular. Here is my certificate of authenticity for my '71:

So here's my trunk floor. I don't think that coat of paint is so thick that it obliterated the numbers.

Doug, I'll believe you, it is strange but not surprising.
Marc, try looking to the right in front of the taillight where the /4 chassis number is stamped.
Rusty could not find a number in his trunk either, again strange but not surprising.
Karl, what is your VIN? That is a good photo. Mine were so faint as to be nearly invisible. I don't recall seeing another number on the dashes. Where is it located? No idea what it may signify.

Isn't 43 the plant code?

If it is, it won't be found on a /6?

I'm not too sure about plant codes. If anyone has any info on this, I'd love to hear about it.

Olav, don't know what?

Just got a note from a 71 owner. In his car the chassis number is stamped in front of the right taillight as are the 914/4. They went to 7 digits to accomodate the new model year. thus the 13 became 131 followed by the sequence number. More info to follow. Any more owners want to contribute? Thanks.

Okay, found the chassis numbers by the right taillight and under the dash. Here's a partial of the underside of the dash (trying to take pictures in the dark meant I didn't quite frame it right):

and here's the number stamped in the floor of my 1971 914/6. Did all 914s switch the trunk-stamped numbers from the center to the taillight area in 1971? I have a 1970 914/4 with the number stamped in the center rear.

By the way, this number is 1310204.

Thanks Marc. It is interesting to note that the chassis # and the VIN are very close, and the dash is in sync with the chassis. Do you have the DOT decal showing the month/year of production?

You may be correct on the location change of chassis # from 1970 to 1971. Come to think of it, I've never seen chassis # in a 1970 914/4 only 1970 914/6. Could you provide the photo for the 70 914/4 chassis number please.

Yep, got the decal. Guess the car just celebrated its 33rd birthday.

Actually, I don't know if "celebrate" is the correct word considering the condition it's currently in.

So, it was built in 2/71.

Here's where the chassis number sits in my 1970 914/4:

I don't know if Dave's still interested in this, but I'm going to bump it because of all our new members. Maybe more sixers can add their info.

Olav might be able to add his VIN and paint code, but I know his chassis number is 131981. VERY close to Jim Chambers car. Olav's chassis had some ODD sheet metal in the front trunk. Definitely different than the other cars I've seen six, or four.

What odd sheetmetal??? I don't recall it course I saw it two years ago.

Oh yeah, keep adding to this. Always working on it really. Ask questions also.
Especially, anything odd is good to post.

Most cars have the sheet metal holes punched out and filled in with plastic inserts. Mine hasn't been punched out.

Also, my horns are attached by a bolt not to a bolt sticking out from the body, Mark said that was different.

Another thing is in the front by the spare I have a bit of a large bump on either side of the spare beside the headligh cowling. Other cars didn't seem to have that. I saw a six on eBay with the same bumps that someone has bought that is a member here.

My VIN is 9140431947 paint code: SIGNAL ORANGE (14) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)
Chasis: 131981
