My 1970 with a california re-assigned ID number is ready to go back on the road after nearly 5 years of restoration. When I bought the car it had a California re-assigned ID number because of a falsified VIN. About 10 years ago there was an investigation by a Fresno police officer that used a Fry's method of recovering the real VIN. His investigation was almost successful, he identified and recovered NINE out of TEN digits. So the car is one of 10 possible.
If the group can help by supplying any of the missing known numbers that would greatly enhance the chance of restoring the true ID number of my vechicle by process of elimination> This is the partial number: 4702905_48. Anybody that has that third digit could respond. If I get lucky, REALLY lucky, I'll have 9 responses. Any help is appreciated. |

Ok, I am nearly ready to order a compliance decal from SoCal Andy for my
1970 Irish Green (original color) 1.7L. Andy has two choices available : Silver or black. I say Black was the probably the original color. The Karmann paint/chassis sticker is black as well. What says the group ? What colors were the silver colored decals commonly associated with ? |

I'm pretty sure they were black on 70-73, & my 8/31/72 built 73 2L is black. Maybe a 70 original owner can step in to confirm. .... Paul/neinverzen?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) You may also be able to confirm by going to Jeff Bowlsby's Classic 914 website & go to the plates, labels, stickers subsection; &/or at the p914.net .org .com website(s) (you may still have to manually change the links to .com or .net IIRC since he's still rebuilding it). Good detective work on the stamping BTW! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
