ok i think i got it the new serial # list there is a possible under 1959 the s# has 6 numbers and one letter this is closer to the frame now
09/01 ------------------ H964326 ------------------ J967177
from to
this falls in between those # s# JO66498

so now im thinking 1959 frame
but if this was true do the new # list also apply to the left dropout list because the s# is printed on the left drop out very confusing check it out see what you guys think larry ca

Larry,

The way I read the listings I would say 1960 built Sept 30th J065262-J068159

I had an all original 1962 5 speed Corvette, it had stainless steel fenders and the plastic Schwinn sunburst type head badge that was glued on. It had the bookrack over the front fender.
