    I'm looking to buy, what I believe, is a "76" 360 (basket case). It has a ML frame number. From what I found it looks like the WR and CR used a ML frame number. Am I correct in my findings? Did the WR and CR use the same frame in "76" and "77"?
    I think the only way to tell the difference is by the engine prefix ...correct?
    Thank you, John

    1978 frames are also in the ML series. And the 78 frames are different than the 75-77 frames. Can you include a picture? How about the frame number?

    Marty,
    I do not have the bike yet, so no picture, but the frame number is ML10237.It looks to me like a "76"?
    DFA, That's the same info I had found.

    Thank you both, John

    Also, the fella I'm getting this from also has 2, 250's that the frame numbers are only 7 digits apart. I'm guessing they where pretty close on the assembly line.

    .

    Yes that is a 1976 ML serial number for the 250's. Cool to find two with serial number that close.
