@dr914 @automobileatlanta

i have 4742913655 on file from L jet research.

thats 14 cars before the one you have posted.

655 has VWproduction# 0529575
75th car on 29 Jan 74.
given they made around just under a hundred cars a day usually
there must be a good chance the one you have posted is same day of commencement of production?
but not necessarily same day vin (completion). or vice versa?

i'm not sure whether i had a vin sticker to go off the vin number on the one i had or a windscreen tag. i'll have to see if i can dig it out of files to see what i have on it.
but its close - be interesting to see if its got an error plate or correct 474 as first three digits.

there is some stuff @davep has found with oddities in the VW production # on the 74 cars but its further along in the production run. had something to do with karmann closing down the exclusive 914 production line to make room for the scirrocco.


EDIT
ok i dug up 655 from my files.
vin plate correct. someone had the brain fade shortly afterwards - 14 cars later.
