Your engine number is a little below mine at CA77E 319104 so I'm thinking a 63 or 64 now instead of a 67, and with only 6 digits is this correct?

I have found the frame number, but can not read it as some of the numbers are pretty much gone, tho I have not cleaned it up yet.

Anyone want to venture a guess on year on this, or tell me if I am on the right track here?

According to Mr. Silver's guide, the Dreams started six-digit serial numbers in 1964 and seven-digit serial numbers in 1965. You should scrub the frame with a toothbrush or parts cleaning brush where the frame number is and post it. You could also check the wiring harness underneath the seat for a little white tag that may still be there. This tag will have the date of manufacture for that harness and almost always corresponds to the date of manufacture of the motorcycle.
