Thank you for the response, it was very helpful. The seller is asking a premium price for the car based on it's originality and condition and I just want to make sure that what they say is what you get. I have asked them for the engine number, I even sent them a jpg image of where it is located at from a picture I found here on the forum. If that number comes in within the range that the forum says would be correct than I guess I buy it. According to the forum's information that number should be in the range of G-600001 to G-650000 with it likely being G-600001 to G-612000. Can you tell me if your understanding of this numbering sequence is correct?

I understand from readings that this body style wasn't all that popular, but I like the lines and the flowing motion of the body and trim. Besides, it is appealing to me to drive a car that is as old as I am and in far better shape than me. If it all pans out and I do buy it, I will definitely post the car to the registry.
