    Re: VIN Decoder need help identifying

    yep, 6 cylinder car......

    Does it have 4 or 5 lug wheels on it now?

    Many "T" codes were properly converted to V-8's.........nuttin wrong with that.  I certainly wouldn't run away from it if it's straight, little rust, etc...
    But, if the owner is claiming it's a V-8 car, he is either not a mustang guy or, is trying to pull a fast one on ya...

    So, armed with this new information, you could use it to your advantage and try to negotiate a lower price...

    Re: VIN Decoder need help identifying

    5= 1965
    R=Built in San Jose
    0
    7= Two door Hardtop
    T= 200 C.I.  1 V    As the guys on the forum confirmed.  I just thought you might want the rest of the code.  If you PM me the complete VIN I will decode the rest. If you have the patent plate information I can decode that for you also.
    Good luck.
