Surely that is not a "C" but a 63B.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

I have the service book for VIN 221940 that I am trying to "re-unite" with the current owner.

VIN 221940 has a delivery date of April 7, 1965

This turned out to be a scam. Beware of these two scammers:
Thomas Seritt and Jeffrey Toller

Man, I don't know how to say this, but I think you should refrain from buying cars on the internet. Given this deal and the last one you lost a lot of money on, I just don't think you have the new skill set for buying.

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24834&hilit=kabuki

It's a different world out there now and the checks and balances that used to work pretty well are no longer valid. Unless you want to get very versed on how the internet works I would suggest you stick to buying cars you can go see. I'm not being a jerk here, I just hate to see people get ripped off by the scammers that are all over the internet. There are no deals on the internet, if you find a car on craigslist or some other classic car website at a really good price, it's a scam, and if it's not one of the larger dealers is going to find it within minutes. If you go to Gullwing Motor Cars in NYC, Peter Kumar has three Indian women sitting in front of computers scouring the internet looking for cars. That's why you will put a car up for sale and Peter will call you within 15 minutes, like magic!
I assume you're talking about this car:

Those pictures are of a dealer in Miami, I've sold him several cars. He always takes his pictures in front of the local TGI Friday's, which is around the corner from his shop.
His name is not Thomas Seritt or Jeffrey Toller.

I don't know where you found the car or at what price, but I believe the car was on ebay with a starting bid of $59,000, and I believe this ad is a couple of years old.
