If you look closely at the wheel rims (if standard and original ) it will have a year and month stamped into the rim between 2 of the wheel studs /
bolts
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

What model are we talking here anyway?
after 69 the compliance plate will tell you what month of the year it was built.
Part dates like rims and speedos are only usefull as a rough approximation.
They were all made long before the car was.
All of mine seem to be dated 4-6 months before the car was complianced.
My 9/74 Lbug has 4/74 rims and speedo, and my 2/71 Sbug has 10/70 rims and speedo
The date stamps on the rims can be hard to spot if they've been painted a few times
It's stamped on the rib between 2 of the lug holes.
