Well, let's see. "Frame off"...one of my pet peeves since there isn't any such thing, but the pictures sure do look good. "Matching Numbers"...no, but that doesn't mean it isn't the original engine...there's just no way to tell for sure outside of a proven history since Mopar wasn't putting the VIN on the engine in those days. "One of eight"... I'm not sure what they are claiming. Maybe they mean with a certain color combo, but I don't know if anyone has that info as an absolute. Since they mentioned Govier, it could be one of eight in his registry in that color, for instance. His registry has only those cars which the owners paid the extra to list in his registry after he verified the car through the data plate information, so I'm sure there are authentic cars that are not in the registry. I found when documenting my '62 max wedge car that while Govier has the tag codes, Davis has the actual VIN's of every max wedge car produced, and therefore the exact numbers of each year for Dodge and Plymouth. It is a lot more than 8! I don't have the Davis books in front of me but IIRC he doesn't break the numbers down into colors and other equipment. He does have numbers for '62 for the few equipped with the 13.5:1 engine. In '62 they didn't come with lightened glass, a hood scoop, aluminum front ends, the van front seats, etc, those things were later years.
