Hi Andy and All, My black G coupe is # 8413204895, the third last listed in the Serial No. Registry in the March 2001 News-Flite. The car was made in August, 1961 per the microfiche info from Gil C., close to the end of the run. I've had the car since 1980 and it had its original paint when bought and the "300" numbers on the trunk lid.
