Thanks all. That about does it. I'll get Maine to issue a new VIN and go on from there.

Robert...like I mentioned in previous
messages, that is the SO (Sales Order) number, and will not decode to anything
without the cars build sheet. If you don't have the build sheet, you are SOL. I
would try for a state-issued VIN and carry on.

Hi - after doing some paint removal I uncovered the 10 digit number shown
in the pic below. It does not appear to decode to anything unless I am using
the wrong on-line decoder. The number is 5211330165. Any thoughts?

Yes once something happens with a VIN plate there's no way to get it
completely fixed like original which is really harsh when it's a collector
car.
Bill - no title but the MAINE DMV will issue a state VIN now
that I have demonstrated my efforts to deal with the problem. I am about
ready to crash the legal case. It has cost me thousands so far and to go
all the way to court would leave me with little after attorney fees. I was
hoping to settle but that is not going to happen. Lousy
situation.

The way I would handle this if it were my car, in addition to going
after the restoration contractor, is to seek a court order to have your
local DMV issue a VIN to the car as a 65. You are not going to be able
to (legally anyway) make a new VIN plate with the original factory VIN
on it, no state allows that AFAIK, but you can get a state issued VIN
and have the correct year associated to it with a court order. Each
state has its own specific exact procedure for this and its own forms.
I've successfully gotten court orders for two vehicles to get them
titled to me when there was no way to do it using any Indiana BMV
procedures. You could make an exhibit of photos for the court of
different years of Barracudas and comparing to photos of your own car.
Obvious differences between 65 and 66 not so obvious between 65 and 64
of course but there are things like the pushbutton shift v the floor
shift. The information from the Chrysler Historical would be a
bonus proof and your car does have a SON on it. They do require a copy
of title and I don't recall if you said you have a title with the
original VIN. Good luck I know it isn't quick or easy.
Bill - the car is definitely a 65 but the VIN plate is a 66. This
has been a nightmare. I can't legally drive it or sell it and
the value has plummeted. Eventually the state may issue its own VIN to
mist the car legal but that will again significantly affect value. The
restorer obviously switched VIN plates for whatever reason (stolen
car, junked, theft maybe) but the law in Maine where I live and NH
where I bought it are not straightforward on this type of
fraud.

i dont think you will find any letters only numbers,
look on the back side, eng. side of the rad. support. I was told
numbers on top of the rad. support are california plant only.
