I just bought a bug titled 1967 but I can't figure the vin. Chassis vin is 157420593. I can't find that vin in the technical section . Oh ! And body has same number. The vins I see in technical section start with 117 that match up with motor number of H0607145 |

If it's a 157 I'm guessing it's a convertible. Is this correct? _________________ 2015 VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition

Surely, it must be a 'vert.
Beginning in 1965, the serial number is actually the last 6(or 7) digits on the charts, and those serials were shared across the entire type 1 range. The first two digits are the first two numbers of the specific model number, and the third number, the year. In 1967, 11s were Sedan and Sunroof Beetles, 14s were Ghia, Ghia Convertibles and Fridolins, 15s were Beetle Convertibles. _________________ Andy T.

I do not know how to fix this. All I can say is it all works fine for me with what I use, Firefox. |

And you would be correct. |
