VW Badge location & body numbers, Challenge to determine beginning & end Options

[davep]

I require help with my research.
Typically, the VW badge was riveted to the right headlight bucket up to the end of 1974 and made its way to the right upper corner of the fuel tank bulkhead in 1975. Also, the body number was originally stamped into the rear trunk floor and made its was to a black riveted tag on the support below the right headlight bucket, as well as being found on the Karmann badge. At some point the body number base changed from xxy95zz to xxy90zz.

I require everyone to help with changeover VIN, and body number for each of the changes. Please add paint code and date code from the compliance decal as well.

So, no response in the last year, but I am forever hopeful. Do not forget that this is important documentation for your car. I would really like to get more data points to narrow the gaps down.

@davep

don't know if this assists with your research.
had this on file from 1.8 research/survey we did late last year.

vin 4742916808
k# 1529514
k# is stamped in rear trunk.
no k# plate in front trunk.

it is a white 74 1.8. i picked up details from a bat advertisement.









member @L-JET914 has chassis # 16877 built the day after.
if you pm L jet he might be able to give you info on his.
L jet turned out to be more than a bit of a sleuth with some amazing stuff from CARB archives.
