Looks like someone has dickered with your data plates. Use only the frame serial which is for a 1962 unit and do not enter a DOD. Many reasons for the dash plate anomaly. Often the dash plates are missing and the titled year may have been 63 do someone made up a 63 data plate with the 62 serial number.

I tried this and I keep getting this error message.
M37 Registry
Add New Record


Error: Record not added

Invalid Serial Number: 266188060


Serial Number 266188060 is not a valid G741 serial number

Your contract number was built betwen 1961-1963. How clear is the frame stamp? You could strip the paint off and see if someone overstamped the original number. The 88 could have been 33.

The number on the frame is pretty clear and the data plate also shows the same number 88060
