My car with the Minilites is 914 043 1095
The other car is 914 043 1108 Thirteen apart. My chassis 131279 The other car is chassis 131270 Eight chassis apart My engine is 6404638 The other car has engine 6404639 !!!!!!!! Bingo ! Consecutive engine numbers !! There's more. My friend EJ got his 6 # 1208 a few months ago and needed someone to reassemble it. The car had sat as a stalled restoration since 1991 The engine had been rebuilt but was never started I'm the lucky guy who did the honors. Unbelievably, the engine had been rebuilt by Fred Apgar, who I worked for in 1978 ! Here they are in my driveway today. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Rory,
My six, which I bought in 1981 from Chris Worley on the recommendation of Fred Apgar is 0311. Steve Gaglione’s old six, which he bought around the same time was 0310. It is for sale in the upper mid west recently I think. The engine numbers are 5 numbers apart. Both were sold new in Connecticut. It’s a very small world. Charlie |

Nice cars, but aren't the serial numbers 113 apart not 13 apart?

Typo?
