body shop lost his tags and the rear trunk floor has been replaced. Thought that there was somewhere on the site with numbers and build dates but could not find it

no can only get it from the karmann number, this guy does not have his karmann number hence need to compare his id number to others in the world data base to get a range for the month produced

4732920724 1973 29th Week 2 = Tuesday 0724 = Consecutive Chassis number Is that right? @Root_Werks No, you can't use the VIN, you need the chassis number, which the Dr. doesn't have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Made a quick and simple chassis number decoder.

Yep, that is gone. Now I also have to deal with replacing the driver’s B-pillar label. Any suggestions? I have of course saved that piece. |

Please forgive me, I'm new to all of this! Group: Members Posts: 1,872 Joined: 3-April 17 From: Los Angeles, CA Member No.: 20,991 Region Association: Southern California |
I thought the 29 is the Karmann Factory designation.
My Vin is 4732921258 and was manufactured May 19, 1973 per COA. Not sure how many cars were produced per day. |

No recent updates: Door Jamb VIN Sticker Thread I bought a Door jam sticker from CarBone and love it. Mine was toast anyway. My mistake was getting a black one instead of silver like it should be . Oh well, looks cool. |

The 95 will roll over to a 96 if there were more than 99 cars made that day. So your daily_sequence should be computed as: CODE roll_over = int(chassis_number[3:5]) daily_sequence = int(chassis_number[5:7]) + ((roll_over - 95) * 100) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |
