Dave is correct. If you look to the upper right hand corner of the pic, you can see the steering column going into the floor. I'm ripping this bus apart & took the dash out today & saw this. It's actually mounted upsidedown, depending how you look at it. Upsidedown from the drivers seat, but correct from standing in front of the bus. I wanted to get some info if possible. This bus had A/C in it, but I don't know if it was OG or not. I also believe it had camper equipment at one time aswell.

A/C was never a factory option, but a Dealer option. If your bus had camper equipment, then that was due to a PO. It was not sent out from the factory to be a camper. How do I know?

I'm a M-code freak! I love looking up those #s!

If you want the low down on your bus, let me know, otherwise I'll let you have the joy of # hunting.

Cheers!

Sorry Dave, I gotta call you on this one.

Third line:

21 388 G67 119 517

The numbers say it, 517 is Campmobile, G67 unconfirmed but I have my suspicions it is the SO-67 variant of the westy conversion. True the westy outfitting was done at Westfalia-Werke, but the buses were destined for that factory from the start. IMO.

Look at the sunroof cutout, dimples where there would be screw holes, dimples where the sunroof drains were, even if they were all sunroof Kombis from the factory they would have had to strip this all out. Now the Sundials, those were panels bought by Sundial and converted in the US.

No, those are the numbers off my plate. See the 388 (Canspec)? Laughing

One of those numbers should be designated for the westy conversion. Maybe one of the unknown ones.

It looks like the whole second line is missing. Could this be a Riviera or Adventurewagen conversion?

Didn't you see the 36 interior code on there? OK, it won't work twice.

Anyone know what interior code 36 is? I think it is tan"ish".

This is the response I got from Vincent, who made the list on the type2.com page, about our bus.

The UN code is a code for New York, which makes sense if you are in New Jersey. The bus hasn't strayed much from it's original home!

Maybe this helps! Our busses were built a week apart! That's pretty cool. I bet they came over on the same cargo ship.

Good luck!

Hi Jeremy,
Here are the codes of the 1977 Sage Green Westfalia Camper. D10 is a group code. It stands for a collection of M-codes. I printed in my list on my webpage that is is Canada Specifications. I did it because I saw D10 once before on a 1973 Westfalia exported to Canada. In the meantime I discovered that these group codes changed each year. Let's say all these codes were 're-issued' each year. So this exact same collection of codes could be A25 in 1978 for instance. Anyway, a German friend of me has a microfiche showing all these group codes. I'll ask him if he can look D10 up for model year 1977.

The plate under the dash reads:
> 72 162 241
> 227 246
> 945134 D10 P27 005 073
> 24 3 7503 UN 2319 61

****** 1st line ******
72 162 241 = chassis number
7: model year 1977
2: this is an extra number that was used to distinguish 1970ties and 1960ties chassis numbers. The '2' would turn
into a '3' as soon as 1 million vehicles of this model been produced. This never happened with the Transporter production.
162241: the serial number.

****** 2nd line ******
227 = Mcode: Detachable headrests for all seats cabin
246 = Mcode: Windshield fee from import-duty for USA (only with M89)

****** 3rd line ******
945134 = paint- and interior code
9: special painting instructions were applied
451: colour: sage green L63H ('taigagrün')
34: door panels and seats
- material: cloth
colour: camping green yellow 'campinggrüngelb')
Westfalia buses have standard VW colours but because a Westy also needed to be painted on the
inside the special paint instruction was applied. A regular VW Kombi is grey in the cargo compartment.

D10 = Mcode: this is a group of m-codes.
P27 = Mcode: Campmobile deluxe with pop-up roof, spare tire, combined gas/electric refrigerator
005 = Mcode: Heater outlet in seat box of rear bench seat
073 = Mcode: Roof opening and reinforcement for pop up roof SO 73

****** 4th line ******
24 3 = this code is a date. This date is most likely a few days later than the actual production date.
Week 24, day 3 (=Wednesday), of production year 1977

7503 = code related to production planning

UN = destination code: USA, New York

2319 = 23: VW Kombi (delivery van with windows)
1: LHD, sliding door right
9: Campmobile (M609)
61 = 6: 2000cc Fuel injection engine (M157/M251)
1: manual 4-speed gearbox
