I have a 1967 coupe barracuda with a low serial number and shipped march 1966.

there is only 5 digits at the end of the fender tag however I was under the impression approx 75 k were produced so other numbers were not relevant. last 5 digits a 02016. the color, the deleted spare and approx 40 years sitting with lack of info and early delivery make me have wishful thoughts. Possibly a engineer like Steve Harvey may have been involved with it ???
