Hello and thank you for letting me join your forum. My friend and I bought, what we think maybe a 1968 Compact Shasta in May of 2014. We have always talked about finding and restoring a Shasta. We came upon her by chance and have loved all of her age spots and wrinkles! We recently came up with a name for her, "Hilda"! Yesterday while working on her exterior we came across the vin number on the tongue, we are hoping someone can help us date her by the vin which is P10863. We have yet to take her for a spin on the open road but we do look forward to that new adventure when she is ready to go. Thelma

Hi Thelma, welcome and congratulations on your find! Ross will help you identify Hilda by her vin#. Do you have any pics? We love pics.

Welcome!
There are a lot of Compact owners here and a photo or two will help narrow down the year.

Hey Thelma,
Your Shasta Compact was born in Leola, Pennsylvania in 1968, looks like within the first quarter of 1968.
As SusieQ, mentioned, we would love to see some pictures of Hilda!
Thanks for the vin#.
