That paint color looks more like 355 - Ceramic Green. Can you post an image of the entire data plate? Did you ever find a 6cyl engine for your car?

Maybe you are reading 390 as 370?

I was also going to post what h-e-n-r-y-j posted as sometimes the tags can be a bit worn  or a rivet can obscure part of the number. A photo of the tag would be best. A car with a VIN that low should be Aloha green as the first 5000 (apprx) were.

Thanks BobsJ!  Yes, I was scratching my head so hard I was about to draw blood! Now it makes sense. You have to be careful with the registries as there can be typos (I'm guilty) etc. as people enter info.
