I believe all the 68-70 cars came with finned brake drums.  What was
that other number - was it different than the VIN?  I remember that my
RL411 was stamped on the firewall, but it was a unibody car so couldn't
very well be stamped on the frame.  I remember reading that the
Roadster bodies were essentially replaceable items since there were no
serialized marks.
