    Door plate question.

    So what are these two series of numbers telling me. Is one of these the VIN? I am getting ready to reattach to the door and though it would be easier to take a picture this way.

    26 = Black trim
    10J = Born Sept, 10, 1964
    73 = District Sales Office, Salt Lake City
    6 = 2.80 open axle
    6 = C4 dual range Cruis-O-Matic

    Vehicle Warranty Number = The VIN

    5=1965 model year
    R = San Jose, CA
    09 = Fastback
    C = 289, 2V (2bbl), low compression, reg. fuel/hyd lifters
    All the rest is the consecutive number assigned on the assembly line

    Hope this helps.

    Also...there are places that will  stamp you a new repop door tag so you don't have to put an old funky one  on your fresh resto.  Google it.
