face=Arial>Kelleigh, the chassis number 211974 is from when the break off
point started, until VW changed the way they did chassis numbering (for the
start of 65). That 211 974 number equates to early 64 models, and ran until
the end of 64 model year production, then continued thru the entire 65
model year production, with "and Ch.No. 365 000 001-365 220
883". </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Your chassis number 3x5 173 669, is for a 65 model year car,
and falls into the above parts numbers, and appears to be a later 65 model
(April or May car?).</DIV>

face=Arial>The other designation 311-314-361-364 are body styles that apply to
that part. Or in other words Notchback (311), Notchback Sunroof (314),
Squareback (361), and Squareback Sunroof (364). Note, it doesn't cover the
T-34 Ghia (343), or the Fastback (not yet produced).</FONT></DIV>
