It is not a VIN, it is the Karmann body production #.
3849610 can be decoded as week 38, Thursday and 110th body that day I figured out this code back about 1977 from about 30 sets of data. Now, there are different codes for the 914/4 and the 914/6, and the 914/6 pattern is completely different. Sometime in mid late 1974 model year the number moved from the rear trunk floor to a rivetted tag in the front trunk. Sometime in 1975 the xxy95zz base changed to xxy90zz, and it would appear that after that the zz was not exclusive to the 914 being made by Karmann. In 1970 model year the number was central (in front of the lock), then moved to the right corner for 1971 model year. |
