Beetle Year Identification and Chassis Number Table

by Robert Kuhn

What year is it?

It's not easy to tell one year from another. External changes throughout the years have been relatively minor. The only positive way to tell the year is by chassis number. Volkswagen began a chassis numbering sequence that ran consecutively from the 1940's through 1964.

Beginning in 1965, Volkswagen incorporated the year and model in the chassis number.

The first two digits identify the model as a Beetle (11) or a Karmann Ghia (14). The third digit is the last digit of the year, for example 5 would indicate 1965 and 2 would indicate 1972. The last six to seven digits are the chassis serial number.

So, if the first three digits of your chassis number is 118, then it would mean that it's a 1968 Beetle. Get it?

The location of the chassis number:

Stamped on the frame tunnel under the rear seat

On the ID plate behind the spare tire on all except Super Beetles.

On the ID plate next to the front hood lock on Super Beetles

On all cars since January 1, 1969, at the top edge of the instrumental panel.


The engine number is stamped on the base of the generator/alternator stand. The letter preceeding the numbers help identify the engine size and horsepower.

Below are some tables which shows all changes which has occured from 1961 through 1977. But remember, the presence of one or more of these changes does not identify a particular model year. Parts are very easily changed between years which is one of the great things about the Volkswagen in general.
