by Si Kingston
The vehicle identification number, or VIN, on a 1965 Ford Mustang is a unique symbol formed of letters and numbers that is stamped or stuck onto a vehicle. The numbers and letters that make up a VIN on a 1965 Ford Mustang represent very specific details about the car including when and where it was made and the body style. The first symbol in a VIN for a 1965 Mustang should be a "5," which represents the year the vehicle was produced, a letter (A-Z) is next and it represents the assembly plant (e.g., "S" represents the Pilot Plant), the next two digits represent the body code (e.g., "07" equals hardtop and "09" represents two-door fastback), the engine code follows and is represented by a letter and the last six digits represent the production sequence.
