I changed the title of the thread, so it's incognito now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) - Sort of to do with the midengined-ness, my username, and of course the 420 914 thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) The car was very original, but quite trashed when I bought it. It's a 49 state car, purchased in Colorado judging by the sticker that was on the back opposite the badge, Bob Hagestad Dealerhip. I don't have a picture of that unfortunately... Both bumpers had 1975 UCLA parking permit stickers. It is an appearance group car, tan square weave, late enough to get 2 real tan basket weave seats. Original adriatic blue paint, no repaints. The snowplow early rear valence. It has the original red heater lever pull which I don't see very much. Everything was there without having been hacked/modified (besides the door panels). Unmodified but fairly trashed. Chassis # 174932 -Meaning the chassis was built the 17th week of the year 1972 (I think it is the 17th week with a Monday the way they count it), the 4th day of that week, Thursday April 27th, 1972. -I thought it was 4/20 but I must concede it was probably a week later, the chassis production. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-179-1307065668.jpg) It is odd, though, the dash doesn't match. 1729556 vs 1749532 which is on the Karmann plate and the trunk. It would be from just 2 days earlier, but then I was thinking, if it was from another car, it could theoretically be from a 73 or a 74 car, too. It seems like it is original, though, as peple always bodge everything and it was fairly unmolested, the wiring, and hardware of the dash.
