tore-40 ◊ 2012-08-28 02:25	@rjluna2: Based on side markers, I guess? Mirror is MY1970 onwards, could it be an early 1970 still with 1968-69 markers?
rjluna2 ◊ 2012-08-28 20:13	@tore-40: Here is the based on this information found at wikipedia: Wikipedia wrote In North America, amber front and red rear side marker lamps and retroreflectors are required. The law initially required lights and retroreflectors on vehicles made after 1 January 1968. This was amended to require lights and retroreflectors on vehicles made after 1 January 1970. Perhaps, it could be the 1970 model year still using the old federally mandate sidemarker. More information at Link to "en.wikipedia.org" Then again, it could be 30 years that has been incorrectly restored by then -- Last edit: 2012-08-29 02:04:34
tore-40 ◊ 2012-08-29 01:16	Well, if you base your judgement on what you see, as most information here? Just like the 'Made for' info as it even could be a later import. Theoretically.
Ingo ◊ 2012-08-30 21:37	Or the door was changed someday during the 35 years of lifetime.
tore-40 ◊ 2012-09-02 17:44	@rjluna: Seems we agree on MY1970 then? @ingo: Yes but they would not choose an older look, would they?
Ingo ◊ 2012-09-02 18:05	That's not unusual for several owners of classic cars. Such cobblework is the exception and common for newer cars: /vehicle.php?id=527862 There are a lot of "retro-pimped" classic everywhere. Often the people change the ugly 1974-US spec bumpers back to the older or the European versions. Sometimes the make some real afford to disperse the US side markers. But it happens often at Euro-spec classics, too. Plastic pumpers were exchanged with the older chrome versions and so on. Too much examples to list them now. In my club were are some freaks, who try to switch the car back to the NSU-prototype (which is in fact absolute impossible, as nearly every part was different). So they mount rubber-less 1971 MY bumpers, fix a RO 80 bonnet-badge and break 3 grilles into pieces and glue the splinters together again - that the hole underneath the VW-logo disappears. -- Last edit: 2012-09-02 18:06:10

Do you have any pictures?
rjluna2 ◊ 2012-09-02 21:43	@tore-40: Who know how it goes from the original to restored state in 30 years
Ingo ◊ 2012-09-03 20:12	@Nightrider: http://www.passatclassic.de/heubach/picture-0040.jpg o.k., here my fellow Achim let the 1972+ bumpers on: http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4084/4960828388_100df06bc3_z.jpg bu An original prototype: http://www.nsu4.nl/imagestechnic/1geschiedenisnsuk70.jpg No, this badge was not original made by NSU: http://www.nsu.nu/2004SE/Arv04K70fro.JPG And no the 2nd: VW never has sold a kit "pimp-my-VW K 70-back-to-NSU K 70"- the previous owner of /vehicle_181997-Volkswagen-K70-Typ-48-1973.html seriously had asked for that @rjluna2: it is restored or at least overpainted. The shining of the paintwork is not original.
Nightrider ◊ 2012-09-03 20:29	Interesting. Actually it looks different without VW badge.
