I did not clearly identify the body number. However, now that you mention
it, I do remember seeing what I believe was the VIN or engine block number
stamped on the front driver's side frame as well. Larry.

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.
