I bought a 73vw super beetle convertible in fair condition. I trying to verify the vin number. On the dash left-side next to glass, and on the door post I found this number: 1532806043. The label on the door post also has 06/73. Manufactured by wolksvagenwerk ag. Need some help folks.....thanks.

Re: 73 vw super beetle vin number

what are you trying to verify? if it's stolen, or if all the pieces are matching?

153 designates a 1973 beetle convertibl. The 151 convertible code was on the earlier models if that had you concerned.
