T3, After sending a note to another listee about getting in touch with the Factory, I thought it might be a good idea to share this thought with the entire list. To many of you, this is old hat, but there are also a lot of new additions to the list, and maybe this info has not reached everyone. If you want to find out what historical data Volkswagenwerk AG has in their records about YOUR Type III, then send them a letter and ask. Include a paragraph about your Volkswagen (model, year make and so on) and give them your VIN (vehicle identification number). VAG will write back to you in about three weeks time with whatever information that they have on file. It usually includes: production date, delivery date & destination, original engine number, original paint code & name, original interior color and whatever extras your Volkswagen may have been originally ordered with from the factory by the dealer. This letters also adds some original, historical information to your car. The address is: Volkswagenwerk AG Customer Service Department Dieselstrasse D -- 38436 WOLFSBURG G E R M A N Y There is also another rumor (it may be just that) that VW is collecting the information that they get back from the people who write in and are compiling data on just how many old Volkswagens are still on the road and in use. Rather romantic in a way. Once you get it back, mail the info to the list. Everyone likes to hear about things like this. -- Patrick 1963 Beetle 1967 Variant
