Parsing out an extra 2 only started in '70, so this was the 254,999th type 3 
built in the '69 model year.

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.
