If the wood is original on the golf club door you should find the serial number stamped on the wood. You would have to remove the leather covering to see it. Also, the number should be stamped on the bottom metal edge of the rumble seat lid. The first three digits will be 558-_ _ _. Both of those number should match and be the same number that was on the data tag on the firewall.

All coupes start with serial number 558. From what I have read the serial number for coupes start at 558-010 to 558-510. I think the coupe you purchased at the auction is only the 12th or 13th coupe I have either seen in person or seen a picture of.

Best of luck on the restoration, I should have proxy bid more!
