I just bought a 69 sqareback and I'm trying to locate the vin #. I found the tag on the front apron (not readable) is there a stamp on the body?

Lift up the rear seat and look at the frame tunnel just forward of the opening and you should see the vin number in the area without the tar mat

That was too easy. I new that because of the bugs vin. I guess I was thinking it would be in a different place with the type 3's. As soon as I can figure out how to post a photo I'll get one up. Basically I have a shell at this point. A 2-3 year project for this guy!

If the car still has/had the padded dash cover, there would be a tag riveted to that, on the driver's side, on all 1968 and up VWs.

I did some light sanding on apron tag (it was covered in paint) there was just enough indent left in the tag were I could make out the VIN (THE PAN & BODY MATCH) in the stripped condition of the car this is a good thing!
