What engine?

[kentuvman]

Tried looking up dash vin plate # but am supposed to have 17 digits

This is what I have > 1412741446 which should equate to 1971 coupe.

Don’t have engine # handy (cars in storage) but it’s an autostick

If it’s the original engine would it be a Type 3 with dual port heads?

Thanks

Ken

Not sure I'm following, but I have an idea...

Look here... https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/chassisdatingkg.php and find your number. Looks like a late '70 Ghia.

141 = 71 Ghia

Engine is a type 1
Engine number likely starts with the letters AE, and is a dual port, dual relief engine

65 and later Ghias have 10 digit VINs, not 17.

Type 3 is a completely different VW model line
