Re: 1965 10 digit vin questions




Mike you might be using 1964 codes for your 65 cars according to the book I have.

1965 Plymouth Vin:

V=Valiant 8 CYL
8=Barracuda
5=1965
5=LA assembly plant


1965 Dodge Vin:

4=Coronet 6 CYL
3=Coronet 440
5=1965
1=??? It just lists Detroit for assembly plants 1, 2 or 3.

Does this make sense?

Subject: 1965 10 digit vin questions



I have 2 question on my 65 cars. Both are the early 10 digit VINs, both with clean titles and fender tags.

Vehicle 1: 1965 Barracuda Formula S (I have the original window sticker too!)

VIN:  V8551xxxxx

The 10 digit sequence is: Line , Price Class , Year , Plant , 6 digit sequence.

The VIN indicates: Valiant 8 cyl., Taxi, 1965, LA plant, 1xxxxx (100001 is the start at LA)

There is no Line code for the Barracuda....so the Valiant tag is OK. but Taxi???


Vehicle 2:  1965 Dodge Coronet  6cyl, 3 spd. 2 dr. Hdtp.

VIN:  43512xxxxx

The VIN indicates: Dodge 6 cyl. 117 WB, Med price class, 1965, "1" indicates "Plymouth from Lynch Rd", 2xxxxx sequence.

I would have thought the 4 digit should be a "2" indicating "Dodge from Hamtrack".


Anyone shed any light???

thanks
Mike
