Well, are you sure its a 310?
I believe the 310 was made until 1963, and was replaced with the pl410 sedan
in 1964.
Is the car rounded or square shapped? Many of the Bluebird 310's were
two-toned colored...so I'll assume that the car really is a 310.
Parts for this car are considerably harder to located than for the RL411.
The 67 Rl411 uses mostly SPL311 drivetrain and mechnicals which makes parts
more available.
Finding brake/electrical/suspension/engine parts will be more difficult than
the RL411. Many of the parts may be similar to the trucks of the same
period..
I few years back Tom Walter owned an early bluebird.....I think it was about
a $500 car. He may have some additional insight into parts.
