Re: 1965 10 digit vin questions

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the Barracuda I think the 1965 VIN codes are relatively generic and you need to match up the vehicle to the codes, for example the "taxi" refers to a Belvedere Taxi (1965), or Coronet Taxi (1965), not the Barracuda.
See if this helps:

Also, here are some 1965 Dodge code leads:
