It's in three places:
on a plate at the bottom of the windshield
on a plate behind the spare tire in the trunk
stamped into the transmission tunnel under the back seat
usually, the 3rd number of the vin correspond to the year of the vw. In this case, it would be 1977.
where is the location of the vin tag for a 1973 VW thing
the vin is stamped on the sheet-metal on the right near the battery also it is on a tag on the side of the fresh air divert er right side
A 1947 would not have a vin they did not start the vin system till around 1980 or sorry like 1965 ish Hope this helped Riley

Model year 1970.
The origanl price for a 1965 vw delux bus was $1,800.
Your VW dealer can get the code from VW they will require the vin # and the radio ser.# there is usually a charge for this service.(about 25 - 30 $) Regards: TG Reaper
