Looking at a 65 (supposedly) Barracuda. Looking at the stainless Vin plate in the door jamb.Rivets missing,plate glued on.Looks like someone tried stamping V8 in front of the numbers which are 52641785. Where did this plate come from? Thanks V8 = V8 Barracuda 5 = 1965 2 = Hamtramck, MI assembly plant 641785 = VIN serial number Hamtramck a-bodies started at 500001 ** 641785 would be 141,785th a-body assigned VIN March '65 build

What is it exactly correct for? A 65 Plymouth Barracuda, that is what you were asking about isn't it?
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Agreed, they stamped the first 2 digits suspiciously different. Way back On another site the DMV would not accept the sale when they inspected it cuz they thought that that was a fraud & the guy went online & downloaded some pics /info & showed it to them that confirmed to them that that was normal. Tho "V8" would make a person skeptical. might be just a coincidence. Is it a V8? Or was it if not original (has a dropped crossmember).

I think you're in good shape (ID wise). EDIT I think that it is "V8" is just a coincidence.
