I have a volkswagen beetle how can i tell the exact year of the car, I bought it at a salvage yard
Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
look on the dash boad from the outside on driver side there mite be a tag Known as VIN # write it down call Dmv they should have the info on the car. can also check edge of driver side door for tag on where the lock section is. Also check under the hood metal tag on the car's info maybe there. since year unknown one of the 3 locations should help.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
In addition to the excellent answer from Rocket112, these 2 sites might also be of help to you. I had a 1969 VW so if you post a picture I could tell you if it was from that that year. You can also check Google Images.
