I also have some original manuals that came with cars, the small blue books.
I think that the car VIN is in one of them. I know that they reproduce them
but I have 3-4 originals. I have one more shop manual, I will check and see
if there is a name and a VIN listed.

Randy,
Neither Lee or the BT7 are in the 3000 MkI registry, but I will add the
info. Prospect, KY is in the Louisville area, so one of the Bluegrass
members might be able to provide some additional info.
Hey Mike (AHCA membership & Bluegrass member),
Can you provide any info?
Cheers,
Bob Haskell
