I need to find the year of my vw van that i just rescued so i can try to find restorative parts.... help, and thanks . PS. its a German made vw.
According to the VIN you typed, the Volkswagen Official Service Manual indicates it is a 1973 (Kombi or Campmobile).
Not exactly sure but it might be a right hand drive 1976.
From the VIN #,from left to right the 10th character will give you a letter code and you can look it up.
“looking to see if the 72 VW I own is a Beetle or Super Beetle? VIN # 1122369336”
VIN # is found under the rear seat on the wishbone part of the cassis.

You're missing a few digits, but the car was made sometime between August 1969 and July 1970 and is the 1970 model year.
I am not certain about decoding the VIN number of our superbeetles.....but my VIN number is 1342095288! Our cars were born pretty close together. Edit: 113 beginning numbers with a 10 digit code indicates a 1973 Type 1 Beetle.
