Tom, I looked at your number again and now have a definitive answer for you. You have a 1964. Your VIN number is 1 308 189. The 1964 model year started with VIN number 1 144 282 and the 1965 model year used the new numbering system starting with 215 000 001. Also, the Turquoise and Blue-White scheme was only used from 1961-1964. Hope you are satisfied with this answer. I am 99% sure it is correct. Dave >Dave is talking about http://www.mindspring.com/~deasterw/neato.html >I had used that site to decode the optional equipment and paint codes, >and to confirm that the first three digits of the VIN indicated it was >a Standard Microbus, RH Cargo Doors, LH Drive, so a big thanks to Dave >Easterwood and the rest of NEATO. But there is no build sequence or >year of manufacture data.
