Hi.
I have an old VW chassis. It has the number stamped under the rear seat position.

The number is: 5505 o5
(it has a little o between the upper part of the last 2 fives)

so far I have not been able to find any info.
Would like to find out the origin and year of chassis.

With thanks.
John

Post some pics and the experts can tell you a lot about it, even without a number.

Maybe it's part of an 8 or a 6.
