Ha, gotta love the clueless motor registry, they've used the weight as the chassis number lol.
It's hard to date exactly from outside because of the carrera kit but it's between 61 and 67.
The carrera gaurds with late headlights are probably fooling some people.
have a look under the backseat at the chassis number and get back to us

It isn't a plate, its just the numbers stamped into the metal so you may have to clean off 5 decades of grease, grime and paint to see it.
It's just in front of the inspection plate for the gearshift coupler.

Yes, as Joel has said
Your beetle has the early body with smaller windows and windscreen which were used in Australia up to 1968.
The front headlamps are off a 68>-76 model..
so the front mudguards are off a later model.
the chassis [vin no] may start 192XXXXXXX
meaning its an Australian build in 1962..

The 19X Aussie chassis number system was only used from 65 to 67.
64 and earlier use the usual German numbering system but there was a bit of a delay between German production and Aus so they are a rough guide only.

Today we found the chassy number, it is located in the front of the car where the spare wheel is located the chassy no is 5425465. Type 2. Axle front
992. Rear wheel bass 1477. If anyone could tell me the actual year it would be appreciated as i have had many people tell me it is not a 62 beetle as
stated on the registration form.
Cheers,
Peter

It would be late 63 early 64.
Aus production was slower than German so the any chassis dating guides you find are only rough guide only

Unfortunately they don't fetch much these days as a whole kits, but often there are people looking for a particular section. I'm pretty sure there
is someone here chasing just the side skirts. It's one of those things that you will get what someone is willing to pay for it. Put what you would
ideally want or best offer?

i was thinking around 300, they are in pretty good condition. I do have the flared front guards but I'm using them as i couldn't find any guards to
fit my beetle. Also have a set of front guards to suit a 71 super if anyone is interested.
cheers,
Pete
