Strange Chassis number

Hi guys

My chassis number is:

429040130

It definite starts with 429 but I can’t see any references to any Type 4 chassis numbers starting with 429.

I also have the VW Birth Certificate and it’s on there and says that it was built on 21st March 1969.

Can anybody explain this for me?

Cheers
Greg

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the explanation.

And yes, the car is a 4 door 1969..

Cheers
Greg

Sorry, I should have just posted these because it helps:

Here is the table of type 4 models:

This is the list of equipment/part number prefixes based on engien equipment class:

That one is interesting because it answers a few questions about part number prefixes in the parts book that appear to lead you to other VW CARS as the source of the part.
