I know a guy in Springfield IL that has a `61 TR4 CT417L or some
such...
I'm not sure how many `4s were produced in 62... The total production
run was somewhere around 49,000.
I'd really cast a hairy eyeball at CT13648LO being a "reallio-trulio"
1962 car (if it was it must have been the last to roll off the line
on December 31st... I'd check for champers corks in the door pockets).
