It turns out that this is actually a 1963 Alpine II, based on the VIN I was able to find. The title says 1964 because back in those days, Michigan titles were issued not based on the manufacture year of the car, but when it was sold to the first owner. Here are some photos

AAAARGH! I meant to say Series III - Sorry, I'm an old man, gimme a break?

AAAARGH! APOLOGIES AGAIN TO ALL! I meant to say Series III - Sorry, I'm an old man, gimme a break? I think my old brain is trying to use this thread as though it's an email conversation.

You should post the pictures here. It's easy to do.
Also, there is a British car museum here in Dayton and they accept donations. They could bring a trailer to rescue it?
If interested, I know the people that work there.

That's an excellent suggestion, Jan! Please assist with connecting me with them. My email is fanible@live.com and my phone is 937-974-7427. Farther down I have attached some photos. BTW, turns out this is a Series III that was built in 1963 and sold in 1964.

I think I may have already posted six photos of the Series III on this thread. I apologize, everyone! I'm still getting used to using this forum, so I'm sorry if I posted a bunch of redundant photos!

Thank you! I meant to say Series III

It has the series 3 badge on the fenders and the series 3 fixed quarter lights. A shot of the trunk would be helpful. What is the VIN? Maybe there was a VIN swap.

Sorry, I meant to say Series 3 - did you have a chance to look at the photos I posted on January 11th?

I don't have any photos at the moment, so I will need to make a trip from Fairborn, Ohio, my current residence, to Delaware, Ohio, to take the photos as well as verify the VIN on my Michigan title. Thanks very much!!! My "birth certificate" name is Floyd Anible, but everyone has called me my middle name, Russ, for the past 45 years.

Open the trunk, 1 tank = S2, 2 tanks = S3. The right rear 1/4 panel shows S2.

Sorry, I meant to say Series 3

Do you know if it's a Series 3 or Series IV car? Back in those days they titled the cars the year they were sold, not the year they were made. My Series 3, which were only built in 1963, is titled as a 1964.

There are even some series II that were titled in '64.. always best to start with a VIN and photos.. in always surprised how few people stateside realise the cars are titled at sale rather than year of manufacture...

More so as the states they seemed to make a big deal about new model year updates ...
