Everett, I was pretty good on VIN #'s back in the day, and I'm 99% sure it was in fact a late production 62 SB. I think it's vin# put it august to december 62 some time. I think it was a high 50k or low 60k vin, but don't remeber exact number anymore or the vin#/year splits even. Next time I'm out by it, I'll look and see what it is. It is originally Gulf Blue btw. ;-P It was the earliest SB I had seen until the internet though. I've also never seen anything anywhere near the 6827 vin# you state. On old VW vins, I go with date built (by vin) to decide year, not typical after "X" date it's a 63 (or whatever year). Also I don't get around the VW internet sites much. You have a link to your black 63 SB? That would have been a dream car for me back when I was into them more. So much so, if I happened across one today for a reasonable price (haven't seen a reasonable price since the early 90's....lol), I'd buy it. -Patrick D. #10 ----- Original Message ----- > > I prefer SB's over all other T3's actually. But I was never able to find anything prooving what VIN number they started at. I'd obviously want the earliest one I could find. I had a late 62 SB for a long time, but never got anywhere with it. It's sittin over near #10 still. :-) > > > I have this on my site: > 15 December, 1961 - Variant > Start of production with chassis# 0 006 827 > > I pulled that info from the VW dealer book "Progressive Refinements," which > is usually correct. > > I have never seen a Squareback anywhere near VIN # 0 006 827. > > I haven't really been keeping track but I would say 99.9% of the people out > with a "1962 Squareback" have a '63.
