444 is correct, according to Noland Adams for L-79 and C60.
Seller mentions the car was flared at one point in time, and I assume the repairs are evident or he wouldn't disclose it. That is a big demerit.
Those tags scare me. Looks like they may have been off the car. AO Smith tags always confuse me. If I am reading that right, it's AO Smith coupe body #623, but chassis #10,778. Maybe that's right for an AO Smith car, but needs close research. Also, that blackout on the Z-bar is not right for an AO Smith body. It would be mostly Zinc Dichromate on the face of the bar with body color overspray to the outboard pass side.
Somewhere in Canada there was a guy (named Blair, I think) who had a real 435 convert in white with saddle leather. This was about 10 years ago he sold it. It's a killer color scheme. I probably would have bought that one but the logistics of inspecting it and buying it out of Canada ran me off the deal.
