This assumes that we've all sent for our cars' birth ceretificates.

I have no beetle birth certificate, but on the tunnel of my 66 is the date sept. 13 1965. Original color is what I think is bajama blue with black interior.

I've never heard of the tunnel being date coded. Many parts are, such as the speedometer, but it's the date the part was made, not when the car was built.

Another '66 with date stenciled on tunnel - I parted this one out sadly
Seems to have been quite common
