1985
Model year 1976. The third # in the vin # is the year, the first # is the model (ie) #1 is the beetle or type 1
The first beetle was made in 1931, if I remember correctly, and it is still being manufactured today.
I believe 1999; in 2000 they switched over to the "newer" body style where they offered the barn doors and lift gate style.
1997 was the first year for that body style 1996 was the last year of the first generation Dakota.
What year of beetle that make's a difference.
NO it is not anywhere close to the same. This is not exactly true. 91 was a cross over year. It was the first year for the new style gauge panel with the tach but the last year for that style wiring and speed-o-meter control box. So if you have a pre 92 truck and want the newer style gauge with the tack there is only one year pickup that is a direct bolt in.
1945 the first Volswagon Bug or "beetle" was made, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured automobile of a single design platform anywhere in the world
The Volkswagen Beetle was designed in 1935 by Ferdinand Porsche. I have checked and have a picture of a 1932 that was the first year.
