This post got me to thinking of my old '80 Vanagon Westfalia.  IIRC, it had
a build date of something like 10/79 on the chassis sticker, so I assume
it's a pretty early T3.  For some reason I still have the title to the old
beast, and this is the VIN # :  25A0008082


Anyone know how to read that VIN to determine its actual build date?


TIA


btw:  Here's how it looked when last I set eyes upon rusty
