So I'm looking for something that will tell me what the numbers mean on the chassis number. I find the "chassis number decoder" info shown. However, it doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something? My chassis number-found on the inside front fender on a plate (is this supposed to be the same as the VIN number?)-is 472 2910951, door sticker says car was built in Feb '72.
So using the decoder it seems my car was built in the 29th week of the year (29) on Monday (1) at the Karmann factory (9) and it was the 51st car built that day. By the way, the chassis plate states the car was "Made in Germany", but there was a West and East Germany back then, so what gives? Attached image(s)

Just a related side note...
I took a picture of the body tag on the Sounato GT at Rennsport. It doesn't have a number on it, just the paint code.  "Curiouser and curiouser!" - Alice |
