VW Beetle Chassis Number Stamping ★1112790435★ - Type 1 VIN Photo

This is a close-up photograph of a stamped identification number on a metal surface of a Volkswagen Beetle, uploaded as a data/spec plate document for a 1970 VW Beetle. The image shows the vehicle's chassis (VIN) number stamped directly into the body metal — the area typically found on the central frame tunnel under the rear seat on classic Beetles. The stamped sequence reads ★1112790435★, bracketed by star symbols as is typical of factory VW chassis stampings of the era. The '111' prefix corresponds to the Volkswagen Type 1 (Beetle) model designation, with the remaining digits (2790435) forming the sequential chassis serial number. The surface is heavily weathered, dusty, and shows surface rust and undercoating cracks, consistent with an older, original vehicle. No other text, dates, plates, labels, or specification data are visible in the photograph. A reader can use this image to verify the vehicle's chassis number for registration, provenance, or model-year decoding purposes, and to confirm the number matches paperwork or other identification plates on the car (the album contains two other related document scans).
