Vin # HELP

caferacerx said

it is not uncommon to find a title and model year that do not match
an early 1969 model could be being built and sold in 1968
and a leftover 1968 model could sit on the floor until 1969
in either event the title will show the year it was issued not the model year

NO, NO, NO.

If the title says it is a 69 it is a car made to 1969 specs. Like 1969 emissions and safety specs.
It can not be a 1968 leftover That will still be titled as 68.
Manufacturers issue a MSO (Manufacturers Statement Of Origin) for each car built. They are mailed to the dealer when the car is shipped.
When the car is 1st sold, the dealer applies for a title in the state the purchaser lives in. The state issues a title.

1969 model year production usually starts in the 1st week of September, 1968 and ends in late July 1969.

This barracuda is a 68 with a 69 VIN tag on it.
