So, after having had the pleasure to drive this beautiful, unmolested, all original, 37k miles 914-6 today, i can't help but wonder if we should attempt to list all the differences between an early /6 and early /4 in terms of originality.
I believe it would be of tremendous help to have a list of things "to look for" when doing a PPI on such a time-capsule. What do ya'all think? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy  |

The VIN is the true indicator of the model year. Date of title means nearly nothing.
Andy, to modify your list, the paint code changed to the VW 914/4 code about 9141430400. There is an exact changeover listed officially, however we all know that the bodies were painted in a different sequence from the VIN. That is why there was a changeover period for the body number styles in 1975 model year. |
