65 Dart Charger, CA car now in Southern IL.

Yes, it does have the original motor. However, this is what makes these cars hard to confirm. There are no vin numbers on engines before '68, anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not an expert on how engines are confirmed before '68. But for this particular car, meaning Dart Chargers, There are cues on the body and fender tag that help indicate it as a Dart Charger. There's no official designation, as far as I know, on the fender tag.

There are probably more but some of the easier ones to find are:
- Notch above the single exhaust in the rear valence
- Pale yellow exterior with black interior
- on the fender tag, the 999 designation for paint
- 273 commando V8, dual point dist, 4bbl carb and intake, solid lifter cam with adjustable rockers
