I just did a revs check on the strange chassis number that is on it and it has come up as a '61.
So 1961 it is.

The chassis appears to be quite newish as in probably 25 years old, not nearly 60 years old.
Were or are they available brand new complete?
They are not just new pans, the whole chassis is newish.
Also, the chassis number in the pic is the only one and indicates something.
Your thoughts?
|
I would guess that it is a NSW Police issued number. The chassis number indicates manufacture April 1963. It could have been a second hand floorpan or
new replacement at some stage.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

How did you come up with April 1963?
Just curious.
The revs check I did came up with 1961.
