<VV> Fitch Phoenix

[Lon Anderson]

Looks to be a very late, late '65... Sept 30th engine date...
Right James? Maybe one of the last ones off the line?

Seth & all:  It was my understanding it was to go to the Saratoga Museum
after John' passing.  But I thought something was up when it was featured in
the G'wich event ad in several of the car mags I read.  

I've heard the engine probably has a broken crank...  

Wish I had the money. 

Others closer to the car and family probably know more, but may or may not
wish to comment.  

A question for you chassis number people: what does the VIN and engine
number tell us about the car? 

Historically Yours,
              James Rice
