Is my car a Tag Job? Barracuda Decode...

View attachment 1715619460 In a lot of these early A body cars the owners panic when they see a VIN tag missing the two rivets. So they stick a screw or a rivet in. Like mine. I took the two screws out and the tag was still stuck to the door jamb. It is a 65 Barracuda with a 66 model year dash. Car has been in and out of my family since new but has changed hands a few times.
My mom bought it new in late 1965. 273 4bbl auto with 8 3/4 rear and 4 piston Disc brakes. She was a receptionist at the Chrysler/Plymouth dealer and they special ordered it for her.

Sorry its so blurry. I took that picture years ago and it was real cold and I did not try to take a better pic.

If the '66 dash is original, it's a '66. Early 1966 Barracudas still had the "V". VIN will tell the tale.
My VIN is V852548189. Never changed the dash gauges, had a Tach when I drove it in the 1970's before my mom sold it.
