Chassis # locations and other Q's, I have a Wierd # in the trunk of my 6. This could explain alot. Could be the devil's playground.130666 Options

[rick 918-S]

First question: How many caricatures in a chassis # for a factory 6?

And B: How many locations for the chassis #?

I went to record the chassis # from my trunk floor. The number looks like this:

13 0666 There is a space between the 3 and the 0 where you would think there should be a number but the space is smooth and un-punched. So if it is missing a caricature I would need to locate a second number to reference.

And third: What range transaxle number would be appropriate for this chassis. It seems I do not have a factory 6 transaxle. I would like to locate a proper case within the range.

The chassis # in the 914/6 is a variation on the chassis # or production # used on the 911 & 912 since the beginning of the 1969 model year. The dash also got the same number, however in the early cars they apparently did not match for much of the year. Another difference is the 914/6 chassis # was missing the year digit while the dash did not. For 1970, or most of it, the chassis # was centered in the trunk, then for 1971 it moved to the right side, and gained the year digit. At least one 1970 (a sporto) got a 1971 chassis.
The first digit (1) means it is a production chassis; if "0" then a replacement chassis
The second digit (3) denotes a Karmann 914/6 body type.
The third digit is supposed to be the year.
Finally 4 digits for the sequence #.
I would appreciate any VIN, production # and paint code combos anyone can submit.
