Wayne, Look at that serial # real close, sometimes when they stamped them at the faactory, the guy did not hold the number punch straight, and it caused a number to be illegible. In your case, if the coach is a 64 Bambi II, it will be 17 ft and only 97 were built in 1964. This model, went on to become the 1965, 17ft Caravel. The serial # sequence should read, as follows: (plant) (length in feet) (4=1964) (1,2, orS) and finally, (sequence number) The number you sent, 41 S 1083 6401 Seems to have something missing. Check it again, and look very close for an off center, "punch". The 6401, if below, on a second line, could indicate Jan, 1964. There should be a 17 in there somewhere. Maybe it is before the 41, and not legible. Bill Scott 61 Bambi
Hi, I looked at a Bambi II tonite here in SF. It's from the mid 60's. The owner thought it was a 1964. I was interested as well the owner as to the definitive answer. I took a digital photo of the serial # plate and was now hoping that Bill Scott could use the decoder ring to bring out the details (manf. date, etc.) On the plate it reads as follows: 41 S 1083 6401 any ideas? wayne
