This one was added to the Registry web page today:
6802825, Coupé Injection 1968, Bleu, CUCUJAES PORTUGAL
The car was coded as Bleu Foncé 1057, which would not be a correct code for a 1968 car. It may well be Bleu Clair Métallisé 1158. No photograph was submitted, sadly.
Total: 1910 cars!

I got one more today, thanks to an anonymous source in Ontario :
6801237, Cabriolet Injection 1967, Bleu Clair Métallisé 1158, Black Leather, Nardi floor shifter, CDN model, I am not sure whether it still exists in 2014, ONTARIO CANADA
This contact indicated that the new numbers that he or she gave me, three in total, are the only 404C survivors that made it to the 1980s, into the computer records era. Before that, cars were registered on paper records only. The newer data/current status is private and cannot be shared. Certainly, the 1960s and 1970s in Ontario would not have been kind to the easily rusted 404C bodywork, so most of them probably disappeared from the road by the end of 1979.
Total: 1919 !

The 404 Club President sent me this one: 6801805, Carrosserie 14899, Coupé Injection, 1968, Bleu Clair Métallisé 1158, stripped of parts, does not exist any more. Some sheet metal of this car was used in the restoration of Cabriolet No. 4499206, LA PLANCHE FRANCE  6801805-01 by p404c, on Flickr The total remains at 1919 cars because just after Christmas I realized that there was a duplicate record in the database, so we "lost" one!

I found another one! It was discovered on a restorer's website. On this site there was a photo of the engine block with its stamped serial number on the engine mount lug (the engine was a standard exchange KF2 unit, so the number was hand stamped when the engine was fitted some years ago): 4595523, Coupé Injection 1965, Noir 1000, Car restored by Garage Poquet, SAINT POL DE LEON FRANCE  4595523-03 by p404c, on Flickr Total: 1921 ! |
