Just bought 1974 type 412, good condition and automatic. How many of these were producted?

No clue but I would be interested in finding out.

In the United States, most were automatic, so they probably aren't as rare as they are in Iceland.

Making a GUESS from various estimations and sources since I can not find exact figures for what you are asking for:

Estimating that 140.000 out of the 367.728 Type 4 produced in total were 412's.

About 40.000 of those went to USA and Canada
(http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/salesfigurest4.php[
and guessing 35.000 of those were automatic.

For the rest 100.000 412's: guessing only 20.000 were automatic so in total possibly around 55.000 412's were made as automatic.

Looking at 1974 only would maybe divide that figure into two, say 20 - 30.000.

As I wrote: only a guess, anyone please correct me!
