That sounds like my cue.

This thing definitely had bullet front signals, and tiny round rear
taillights. And, I'm 90% sure the second digit of the serial number
was a seven.

Most people have opined that this would make it a late 1960 or a 1961.

There seems to be some question about whether bullets existed in the
1961 model year.

Tom F mentioned that the number 672483 would be later than '60 - according
to the NEATO data at http://www.mindspring.com/~deasterw/chassis.html

He also cited a source for the change over date from bullets as:

Anyone else?   :^)
