It makes me wonder if the body had actually been built up in January and then diverted to some other use (prototyping, engineering, etc...?) and then returned to the assembly line in August when it actually got a VIN and made into a car before the end of the model year run. It seems possible that VW might have "sampled" production periodically and then actually used those bodies in the final weeks of production, before they might have become obsolete. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
