Thanks for the reply, Doc.The only thing I have been able to find is the chassis stamp on the right fender as you described.It reads *750*0056*.There is no VIN plate as most cars have.Does the 56 indicate when the car was produced?Somehow the car was titled in CA as a 1967, though they didn"t start making them until 1968.
