  The car claims to be HBJ8L/35558.  If it is, it was probably built in late
  March or early April 1966.  Depending on when it was first sold, it was
most
  likely originally registered as either a '66 or a '67.  I noted the claim
to
  be a "1964", but since the "year" of BJ8s as recorded in the registry
varies
  all over the place and there is only a general agreement between "year" and
  chassis number, I didn't consider it to be significant even if it is not a
  typo.
  Within the 100 chassis numbers immediately prior to yours, Jim, the
registry
  records 4 '65s, 19 '66s, and 3 '67s.
  Within the 100 chassis numbers immediately after yours, there are 1 '65, 15
  '66s, and and 4 '67s.
  35558 is the only car in the registry with a chassis number later than
yours
  that claims to be a '64.
