Hi Frank:

Your car and mine must have seen each other on the assembly line.  Mine is
SRL311-12932.I live in eastern Ontario in Canada though. My car was sold in
Guelph, Ontario located between Toronto and Windsor. I have only owned mine
since the early '80s. I do have a lot of the original information including
warranty books etc.

Good luck on the restoration.
