Starting in '70 the VIN picked up an extra digit, which for our cars was allways a 2 in the 4th position. I don't know what VW meant by this, but I interpret it to mean the second decade of production. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
