I've seen this bug around a couple of times while going from class to class but this is the first chance I had to snap a picture. And this time I was actually able to park next to it. It's a nice color of blue with a really nicely done beige interior. It looks to be a 1974 Bug like mine. I think that's a good year, I may be biased just a little bit though. Also note that the snow is starting to melt so maybe the groundhog was right this year, maybe spring is just around the corner.
To confirm the year:
ReplyDeleteLook at the VIN, on the driver's corner of the dash. The third number is the last number of the year. For example, 1122907250 is a 1972 (a '72 Beetle to be exact).

Cool, I didn't know that. Next time I see it I'll have to check. I should see it on Friday so I'll have to let you know what I find.
ReplyDeleteThanks
I looked at the vin number like you said,the third number was a 4 so it defiantly is a 1974 Beetle. Thanks, does that work on parts codes as well?
