Tom very good information that makes much more sense including all models and Chrysler dodge and Plymouth models.I'm not versed very well with pre 1967 V.I.N. numbers, but for what it's worth, the last 6 digits should represent the total production of cars coming out of that build plant.
That would include ALL Plymouths, Dodges, and Chryslers that were built there and all configurations be it 4 door, station wagon, convertible, 2 doors, etc.
681,196 is a high number, I think you are right in assuming that the car is a late build date one for sure.
I hope this helps,
Tom.
How about a photo of the car? That way we can verify whether it's a '64 like you say, or '65 model like the title says.
Yikes, someone has done a VIN swap most likely. That's a '64 model by appearance......of course someone could have put a '64 front end on a '65 body at some point. What does the dash and taillights look like? How is the VIN tag attached? Is there a fender tag? Photo of it?
What are you telling me? I’m not sure I understand. ThanksWe do not have the 1964, '65 or '66 Dodge TSBs on HH yet but here is a link to the 1966 Plymouth page - https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/TSBs/1966/66-1_page2.jpg
As you can see, the Hamtramck A bodies for '66 started at 500001.
They were also built in St.Louis.
And...... these cars were NOT built in VIN order regardless of plant. ;-)
I don't think everything on that page is correct. It claims they made '66 Barracudas at the St Louis plant, but, I believe they were only made at Hamtramck and Los Angeles.We do not have the 1964, '65 or '66 Dodge TSBs on HH yet but here is a link to the 1966 Plymouth page - https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/TSBs/1966/66-1_page2.jpg

That looks like a '64 model. IIRC, the new models started in Aug of each year. Was there something different in the changeover dates from the '64 models to the '65 models?
That’s what I’m being told that the 65 model year was late September early October and they was still production on the 64 modelThat looks like a '64 model. IIRC, the new models started in Aug of each year. Was there something different in the changeover dates from the '64 models to the '65 models?
It started in 500 000 at the Hamtramck and St Louis in 1965. In L.A. it started with 100 000.We do not have the 1964, '65 or '66 Dodge TSBs on HH yet but here is a link to the 1966 Plymouth page - https://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/TSBs/1966/66-1_page2.jpg

What is the shipping order number off the fender tag or radiator core support?That’s what I’m being told that the 65 model year was late September early October and they was still production on the 64 model

I believe that it must have been 1963. The 63 line up was introduced late September same year. The 64 model vent inte production early August 1963.I know that they were making '65 models by Sept 17th, 1964, because I owned one built on that date. Anyone here have an earlier production date on their '65 model?
Friday 3rd of August 1964. Production for 1964 models ended Friday the 24th of July.When did the '65 model start production?
