I'm getting conflicting info on the year my car is via the chassis number. The number is 117 048 405. One list says it is Aug 01-15, 1966 and another list says it's a 1967. Anyone know for sure ? I tried the search function on this list but mostly got chassis / vin number questions about the manufacturer. Thanks.

David,

 

I think late 66 is when some of the "new" changes began.  1967's were sort of a combination of new and old design.  For instance, swing axle rear with ball joint front.  Also, wide 5 lugs continued thru 67, even with the new ball joint front.  It will depend on the parts that you are ordering.  Many of the reputable VW parts suppliers can help with selecting the correct part based on a description of your current part.
