My car with the Minilites is 914 043 1095
The other car is 914 043 1108
Thirteen apart.
My chassis 131279
The other car is chassis 131270
Eight chassis apart
My engine is 6404638
The other car has engine 6404639 !!!!!!!! Bingo !
Consecutive engine numbers !!
There's more.
My friend EJ got his 6 # 1208 a few months ago and needed someone to
reassemble it. The car had sat as a stalled restoration since 1991
The engine had been rebuilt but was never started
I'm the lucky guy who did the honors.
Unbelievably, the engine had been rebuilt by Fred Apgar, who I worked for in 1978 !
Here they are in my driveway today.

Rory,

My six, which I bought in 1981 from Chris Worley on the recommendation of Fred Apgar is 0311. Steve Gaglione’s old six, which he bought around the same time was 0310. It is for sale in the upper mid west recently I think. The engine numbers are 5 numbers apart. Both were sold new in Connecticut. It’s a very small world.

Rory,
As always your work is meticulous. Love the close numbers on those 6’s
