As Joel says, the first three numbers of the chassis number tell the tale.
1 = Type 1 (Beetle). 9 = Australian manufactured. US websites and books don't recognise this as they don't know about the Australian VW factory. 5 =
1965 model.
Have a look at the back of the speedo for a date stamp. The wheel centres all have date stamps too (look between the wheel bolts) but they may not be
original. But the spare might!
