VIn no ?
I have the following vin no on a 01 01 1967 registered Beetle - 115299542. What does all the digits mean? The engine which has a broken block is SFCR067654. The "R" I see means rebuilt. Where do I get a good engine? I suppose engine exchange would be the better way to go.

Re: VIn no ?
My dad suffered from Beetlemania! And my FIL too. Just last week he donated his Rodeo S/W (that he himself built yonks ago, using his Jeans Bug as donor car) to his grandson. Although he still has a valid driver's licence at 84, he's now calling it quits.Neuk wrote:Interesting, thanks for sharingSupervan II wrote:11 = Beetle SedanDewaldScholtz wrote:I have the following vin no on a 01 01 1967 registered Beetle - 115299542.

Awesome! I hope the bug has been passed down to the younger generations.Supervan II wrote:My dad suffered from Beetlemania! And my FIL too.
