OK, now I'm confused. My mom took delivery in the late fall of 1965. The dealer ordered 3 of them, all the same. The 1966 Model years was coming out and mom did not like the squarish of it.
The Barracuda was Blue with Black interior. It had Formula S badges. It has the rear defrost fan (no heat) for the back window. The radiator core support number is 5202800564 and the Vin is V852548189. No signs the core support has been replaced. I remember it had this 1966 dash too, not the 64/65 dash. Finder tag is long gone when they painted the car black
Need to read the whole thread. VIN and SEQUENCE Number or SO number are not the same on your 65. Without the fender tag or broadcast sheet to check SEQ number to the body number stamping.
