OK this got confusing two similar conversions mucked me up.
No the engine doesn't have anything to link to a year.
Number is: 359 006036
Also the other one I have (Green cowl Mustang) engine number is different again.I have a funny feeling it is also a 1980's model.
Number is: 139616
Again I can't see a link to a year.Unless it's something like how tyres are dated,like this.Week 13 Year 9. Which I guess could mean April 1979,but I have no idea if that's what was done.I'm just guessing,would be good if that's how it is.


Here for a good time,not a long time.
