Hello all.
I need a little help. I recently purchased a modelyear ´56 (From vin reading, I have found out two different info, manufacturing date in june 1955 and other that says aug/sept 1955, no semaphores, just bullet turn signals) but having hard time figuring out the engine code.
Car vin is 1-0975659 and engine code 3864445. From what I see this is not it´s original engine, or at least I think so. Is there anyone who could break it down for me? |

At the top of this page click on “ technical”. Go to “vin and chassis numbers.”. Click on “Type I “ for Beetle. There you will find your desired information. Numbers listed are for the last of the month.
Looks like your engine is from June of 1960. To be anywhere near the original engine it would need to start with 1-0. |
