Double post.

Book doesn't show a SN that high.

The 1JXXXX started in 1983 so somewhere within a couple of years
after that.

The man that is selling said his father bought it in 1968. It has no dash number. Guess not telling me the truth.

Normally the floating "J" models such as this were around 1971-72. It's in the book, I just don't have it with me at the moment.
