That would be a Service Newsletter (pink in color) not a Bulletin. The G-1964-3 is 4 pages and includes Licensing and Registration data on all of the 1964 models. There was a supplemental Letter #G-1964-3B (dated May 13, 1964) that addressed the serial numbers for the Avanti specifically removing the prefix "1963" from the serial numbers starting with Avanti #R-3100. For your possible future reference the last Service Bulletin was the October 1962 issue #368. I have copies of all Service Bulletins and Service Newsletters back to the first in 1926 (also the indexes).

Here are the three pertinent pages you requested. Page 3 emailed to you direct.

Interesting: The Daytona 4-door sedan is $2 more and 5 pounds lighter than the Daytona hardtop. That doesn't seem possible, with the added length of the frame (poundage) and various door mechanisms. BP

The HT used an 11ga frame rail while a 4 door used 13ga. The HT had a lot more die cast trim and possibly heavier seats. Just guessing here.

Y Body (long wheel base sedans) always had an 11 gauge frame. The ‘61 and earlier V-8 W Body (short wheelbase 4 Door Sedans ) had 13 gauge frames.
