Are there 1965 Mustangs that begin with a 6 in the VIN? I keep seeing 1965 Mustangs for sale, and find out the VIN starts with a 6. I thought that was for 1966's. Need some help.
Thanks alot.

Hello. If the vin starts with a 6, that's a 66 model car. The vin of all 65 Mustangs begin with a 5. The reason that you see that is probably either, people don't know what they are talking about, the d/s door of a 65 has been replaced with the door of a 66 and it still has the 66 door tag on it, or, the vin on the title that the person has is for a different car. Hope that helps.

While those are very valid reasons I'd go with #1 for the most part

I've had my share of people tell me they like MY 65 or that my car is in fact a 65, or even worse.......a 64! When most people think of a Mustang they think 65 as it was the most popular year. So whenever they see a 68 like mine, a 67, 66 or even a 69 and 70 they think they're ALL 65s.

veronica's right...if the door tag starts with a 6, then one of the previous owners have replaced the door with one from a 1966 mustang and left the door tag on.

I agree. What about the inner fender stamped VIN? I would that would be more reliable.
