I've noticed that 3 early-1973 MY 914-2.0 ("914S") vehicles have Build Dates on their Driver's Door Jamb VIN Label which are out of numerical order for their VINs - or visa versa
- see here if interested in more details of that discussion:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...p;#entry1264353

Now I'm wondering if there were any other patterns &/or instances of the VINs being built out of order, or if this is just a one time quirk!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

.... So lets create a little unofficial Poll & Data Base on this thread to see if we can find anything about this Historical Quirk,
since the "Members' VINs" section here at 914world doesn't list the Build / Manufacture Dates in it.

Please Post your VIN(s) & Build Date(s) here in this Thread - either from your COA, VIN Sticker or other "official" source (not hearsay please) .........

I'll start with the 3 which we've uncovered so far:

4732901102 - Built 9/72 < dated after 2 following VINs below

4732901650 - Built 8/72

4632901954 - Built 8/72


OK you others out there, get yours in here from any & all model years - 4's & 6's and let's see what turns up !!!! .....

Thanx Dave & Mark, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Dave - I've highlighted in your list above, that you have one 02065 built in 8/72, & at least 2 other 01900 series VINs which were built in 8/72 (or at least tagged as such), & maybe 2 if 01965 is actually an 8/72??

... so the VINs are obviously all over the place relative to build dates! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

... Do you happen to also have the chassis nos. for those above, to see if there is any further correlation on build dates vs Chassis nos. in Aug & Sept 72 - especially if some 9/72's are Aug Chassis Nos. in weeks #31-36 ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
