ebay 65 barracuda stored for years!!

Neither my '64, or '65 Barracudas have rivets. That is how the cars were built. It was held on with either spot welds, or glue. If I understand it correctly, '65 was the last year they didn't use rivets. They started using rivets on their cars in '66.

That explanation makes the most sense. I never paid much attention to the vin tags on other models and the doors are all closed at car shows. Not having the screws or rivets makes me believe the tag was removed for a paint job.

After all that, it's still a pretty nice car.
