I think we went over this before and found out that your car is quite a few VIN numbers past mine? I'm 3612257929. Possibly the relevant info here is that fact that it was made at the very beginning of July and only left the factory at the end of July. I would imagine it was during the time it was at the factory that they switched over. I think I missed the '72 features by a few thousand cars. ===== -------------------------------------------- 1971 FI AT Squareback http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ vw_variant71@yahoo.com -------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
