Engine Number

Post by bjharry »

The engine number on my beetle is C90116P.
I cannot find anywhere that shows an engine code starting with C for a Type 1 beetle.
I need to clarify before I get her registered and back on the road again.

This chart says that ID was used fro 1967 - 1970 in Type 2's.

This list doesn't not list a "C" by itself anywhere:

And this list agrees with the first:

Seems somewhere along the way a bus engine was put in your bug.
