Decode F600

New member, but hope to be on here more... I am looking at a 72 F600, and could use some help decoding the door plate (trying to sort out just what I'm getting myself in to). Thanks in advance!

My reading is as follows (in case picture is a PITA):

F61DCE77547
174 7 F617 4B81 P E2
20000 164 3800 220128
