Helping a buddy build this car soon and noticed the low to me VIN # .

We were curious if this means its the 65th 1970 Barracuda built?

technically, it is the 65th assigned VIN for 1970 from the Los Angeles assembly plant

it would've been scheduled for the first day of production, but it's actual build order would be difficult/impossible to determine without a lot more info, is there a fender tag pic you can share?

wheel opening mouldings were STANDARD on Challenger * they were DELETED on 340 (A66), 340+6 (A53) & late in the '70 model year HEMI cars

high-impact paint - that $14 just exceeded the budget! laugh2 *-* painted wheels & hub caps?

14x5.0" Motor Wheel painted steel wheels dated June 30, 1969(only have two of the four) both with black and then body colour over them. Looking for the other two. Came with full wheel covers, I have them and 10 NOS ones!
Manual steering, of course.

if the wheels were originally body color, then it was a hub cap car
if the wheels were originally black, then it was a full wheel cover car

3438 171 yellow alternator. A lot of the original parts on the car date in early September of 1969. Including the seat belts. The original door jamb sticker says 9-1969.

They have original black paint and them the body colour over top. Must have been full wheel cover, then the owner painted the rims later. Was only ever licensed in Eureka, Montana. Spent 30 years in a wrecking yard near Polson, MT. where I got it from.

the original wheels would've been painted black by Motor Wheel Corp.
if the car did not have wheel covers, the LA plant would've painted the face of the wheel body color
