Second type of rear lights: 1960+. No 'Volkswagen' or 'VW 1300' or 'VW 1500' on left of the engine lid: pre 1963. Side strips are missing.

Bit of research on Bryan Hartnell's VW...

4U2040 is the correct Oregon license plate, the real car had VIN 8641212113, described in the police report as a white 2dr coupe in "fair" condition with all tires as "poor":

Quote They still have the door in police storage. During the filming of the Zodiac documentaries, specifically This is the Zodiac Speaking I believe, Hartnell is allowed to view the car door, still in storage four decades later.
It's apparent Hartnell's moved by the door's presence, so long after the events at LB. He tries to touch it, but the cops intercede. The writing has faded over the years, and it's wrapped in a protective plastic, but little else has changed since the day they removed it from the car.


The movie car:

Quote When special old VWs are needed for the movies KGPR/AIRHEAD PARTS gets the call. We have advised, supplied parts and/or restoration work for movies such as 'That Thing You Do" with Tom Hanks; "What Lies Beneath" with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. We were THE go to guys for "Herbie Fully Loaded". Advising, supplying parts, restoring and finally, leading the "Herbie & Friends Cruise Across America".
Our latest involvement was with the film Zodiac. We supplied parts and installed the quater windows on the movie Ghia. The door you see below was rented to the production comany and this is how we go it back! (Kinda creepy,huh?) Below that is a photo from the evidence room of the SF police department. I was told that after filming was completed, director David Fincher donated the Ghia to the original owner Brian Hartnell who survived the Zodiac's stabbing and still lives in northern Califonia.

... the VIN doesn't make any sense but it was a 1956 according to several sources.

This scene was the reenactment of the murder of Cecelia Ann Shepard and the attempt murder of her boyfriend, Bryan Hartnell who were both stabbed by the Zodiac at Lake Berryessa in Napa County, California on the evening of the 27th September 1969.

Hartnell survived of his wounds but Shepard lapsed into a coma and later died of her wounds on the 29th September 1969.

In his statement to the Napa County Sheriff Office, Hartnell stated that he and Shepard were picnicking at the lake when he spotted the killer approaching them from the treeline, holding a .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol on the both of them.

With the gun held on them, Hartwell said that their attacker wanted their car and cash to escape to Mexico because he said was a escaped convict from a "prison in a two-worded town" in either Colorado or Montana who had already killed a prison guard and the car he already stole after his escape was "too hot to drive".

After bounding Hartnell and Shepard's hands with rope, the killer produced a knife and stabbed them both multiple times, Hartnell was stabbed six times and Shepard was stabbed ten times.

Hartnell described the killer as a white male, around 5'11, weighting about 170lbs with a combed back brown greasy hair, he also described him wearing a black executioner's type hood with clip on sunglasses over the eyeholes and black bib with a 3" x 3" circle and cross on the bib.

After stabbing Hartnell and Shepard, the killer hiked up to Knox Road, about 500 yards from the scene where Hartnell's car was parked and wrote the dates and locations of his previous attacks on the driver's side door of the car and included the location and date of his latest attack with the words, "By Knife".

About 70 minutes after the attacks, at 7:40 PM, the killer placed a call to the Napa County Sheriff's Office and reported the attacks, the call was traced to a payphone at a local car wash on Main Street in Napa, about 27 miles from Lake Berryessa and a few blocks from the Sheriff's Office.

Radio news reporter, Patrick Stanley was listening to his police scanner when he overheard Napa Police Officer David Slate putting out broadcast about the call, after driving around, Stanley spotted the payphone.
