Vehicle number 317 020 499 is a 1967 Fastback or Notchback. You
can tell from the first three digits, which break down like this:
3 = Type III
1 = Fast/Notchback (6 for a Squareback)
7 = last digit of model year (1967)
For example, my '69 Squareback's serial number begins with 369; my 1971
Square is 361. As Jim pointed out, things could be all mixed up: the
chassis, body, i.d. plate and paperwork could all be from different cars!
