Is this normal or is there something bad going on here?

Every one of the 6 A-pillar VIN plates I have seen look like this. Mine included. It appears that the factory stamped them with the 914 and then later on stamped the rest of the numbers. I have seen this on early steering wheels as well, where a 3 was stamped over with a 4 that didn't match the existing 4 stamped on the wheel. I thought it was an anomaly, until I saw another steering wheel with the same stamp. Jim |

Jim They did it a lot with the steering wheels. Makes them look fake if you just see one. |
