I wonder if the VIN tag was from a different car. Do you have a
picture of the plate? Did you get a look at the VIN on the frame?
Here's the description from Rallye:
65 1500 SPL310-10000 to end (est. 11124)
opening triangle vent windows, a chrome strip for a trunk handle (but
with external trunk hinges), 2 large and 4 small gauges, and individual
hood letters. A true 65 would also have 2 suitcase-type (or J-hook
type) top to windshield latches, NOT 3 knurled knobs like the 62-64's.
A true 65 would also have a large rear deck like the 1600's (about 2
1/2 feet deep). The battery would be under the hood, not behind the
passenger seat like the earlier 1500's. All 1500's should have small
flare fenders with side trim running all the way to the headlight
scoop. All 1500's were positive ground and had drum front brakes.(I
have seen some late 65's that have discs, but all have been 2nd or
later owner so as yet I haven't found one I was sure hadn't been
converted).
