At that rate (660/mo) my car (B395011119) would have been built in Sept. of 66'
and sold as a 67'. I bought the car about 13 months ago from the original
owner. They claim to have the original bill of sale, but have not located it
yet. Does anyone have a breakdown of how many cars were made each month?
Was your car sold as a 68' model? Does anyone know what happen to the last
car off the production line?
