According to the Red Book that chassis is a 1965 model which was manufactured between 1/65 and 7/65. The engine serial number for that chassis should be between 900361 - 903550

That would be a very early car. There are a bunch of guys here with knowledge of these early cars that will probably chime in, but you may want to also post your inquiry over on the early S registry forum, those guys are really into the early cars.

Yeah well I thought it to be a very early car I bought about 8 moths ago I got it real cheap it was in boxes I ordered carpet and rs panels for it this week it drives real nice. I was hoping if any one had more info on the chasis numbers it would be appreciated

There are some people over here who can give you lot's of info, John Cramer and others have done a lot of research. I'm sure they'll notice this thread soon enough. The other think I would recommend is ordering a Certificate of Authenticity from PCNA. Go the the PCA website to download the form. It's not cheap at a little over $100, but it will tell you when the car was built, and any options it was originally equipped with, as well as the original engine serial number and gearbox serial number. It sounds like a nice find, post some pics when you have a chance!

also contact bob fleming an early 901-11 history buff who has made a pastime of collecting the wheres-abouts and nuances of the first year cars. yours would be #688, surprise,and by that time most, if not all of the weird short term parts were off and standard production commenced, you say drives nice, still have a mechanical fuel pump and solex's for induction? and forget the rs panels, your car would, imho, be better stock. Or not, your car :>)ask questions now!

And the best part I paid 2500.00 for it

but its only a glorified VW???

$2500 is kinda steep

well maybe the carbs are worth some cash
