Anyone ever heard of these? Late 1970 production with the 1971 300 15HP motor. How rare are these?

WOW, neat! So does anyone have info of what the VIN would have looked like? The 12/3 was 7010 and the 335cc was 7012 and 7013. Dave, you mentioned that this 15/3 was a 300. What would have likely been different from the 12/3 at 299cc and this 15/3 at 300cc? Porting, compression? "51 Models of the future" that's a bold statement, LOL

Chance of finding one is like looking for a needle in a hay stack.

It looks like the dealers could get them in a bundle with a 399E Nordic, then sell them separately. I wonder if any of them were marked differently, or if you just had a type 302 engine in it.
I have also heard of '69 320's coming with 335's in them as they ran out of 318cc engines?

The '69 320 with 335 story is for real, as we received and sold a number of them out of our dealership in central New York.
