six-o-one, The chassis number is 2 607 876. This is also the VIN. How could this one number be both VIN and chassis? And how could this model have working semaphores and in USA? My Dad told me that semaphores weren't allowed in this country. My Dad also gave me this book called "How to Keep You Volkswagen Alive, A Manual of Step by Step Procedures For The Compleat Idiot". I have some reading to do. Thanks again. Natalie
