. 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 !!!! .....

Go to Jeff Bowlsby's site on rennlist about the LE cars. It happened all the time. The build date and the door jamb stickers never seem to match. My LE was built on Feb 27th but it has a Mar74 door sticker.

It almost sounds like the persons at VW's 914 Factory doing the VIN tags, just randomly decided whether to use the Chassis no.'s Month or the Final Assembly completions month, or flipped a coin, or maybe just had excessive brain farts!
