I need to find the year of my vw van that i just rescued so i can try to find restorative parts.... help, and thanks . PS. its a German made vw.
According to the VIN you typed, the Volkswagen Official Service Manual indicates it is a 1973 (Kombi or Campmobile).
usually, the 3rd number of the vin correspond to the year of the vw. In this case, it would be 1977.
Model year 1970.
1966 standard bettle
where is the location of the vin tag for a 1973 VW thing
Not exactly sure but it might be a right hand drive 1976.
From the VIN #,from left to right the 10th character will give you a letter code and you can look it up.
“looking to see if the 72 VW I own is a Beetle or Super Beetle? VIN # 1122369336”
VIN # is found under the rear seat on the wishbone part of the cassis.

You're missing a few digits, but the car was made sometime between August 1969 and July 1970 and is the 1970 model year.
I am not certain about decoding the VIN number of our superbeetles.....but my VIN number is 1342095288! Our cars were born pretty close together. Edit: 113 beginning numbers with a 10 digit code indicates a 1973 Type 1 Beetle.
