I'm seriously jealous - what a cool score
!
I'm no expert, but I am coming up to speed on these
... When they first put the R16 motor and Fairlady disc brakes on the 411 the VIN started with a "
R" on RHD or "
RL" on LHD sedans and wagons, but the badges simply were 1600. Shortly after production started they switched to the sexier SSS badges. There isn't a difference between early RL411 sedans and wagons versus the later ones with SSS emblems. It's documented that some dealers, back in the day, swapped the 1600 emblems on early RL411's to SSS emblems in order to sell them eaiser - and there isn't anything really wrong with that. My Bluebird came with the 1600 emblems, which I think is cool - it's more of a "sleeper" - LOL
This one looks like it's in great shape
