Taco id help needed

[slow greg]

I have what I think is a 1970 Taco 99? the serial # reads 7Q4465 its hard to read the 1st 4....its the wide frame with the seat dropping in.... long connected swing arm and springs on top of the forks with lower slider forks.....so the Q or O means what ? thanks for the help

Please post some pics of the bike too. Never heard of a Q or an O? Maybe the serial number got damaged?

7 = year, 1967
Q = model. Taco 99 is A. Didn't see Q as a model. Only, A, H, T, P, E
4465 = serial number

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

It might be 70A465

If it is 70A465 than is a 1970 taco 99. 5hp b/s 5 in rims 465 off the assembly line
