Looking form My Moms 1965 Here is the VIN
So My mother's first car was a 65 Hardtop, she bought it used but in bran new condition from a guy that was being shipped off to war. She had the car for years and sold it for I don't know what reason but she always talked about that car and how much she loved it. From then on she had a few mustangs including here final mustang a 2004 that she left to me. I was fortunate enough to find the VIN of her 65 and I was wondering what you guys think the odds are of my finding it by posting it on here? Or some known database for finding old cars? Any thought on that would be good too. I am interested in the car in any condition, however part of me hopes its not perfectly restored because I have a limited budget and probably would not be able to afford it.
Info:
She bought this car on SEPT 27 1965 from Arthur F. Johnson who was going off to the war.
VIN#5F07T621311
MODEL: 65A J2605 B3-1
Purchased: use on SEPT 27 1965
Purchased for 2 thousand dollars
Previous owner: Arthur F. Johnson
If you are Mr. Johnson I would also like to talk with you about this car.

Chances of finding it are slim. Unless you are Poppa John and can off a $250k finders fee. Also, the chances of finding it and the owner actually agreeing to sell it to you are even more slim.
Good luck though and keep us posted.

1. I know a T code is a v6, however I know that if i had a chance at a 65 v6 I would gladly take it. Also someone could have easily swapped it to be a v8 and kept it.
2. The harbor freight comment was uncalled for and foolish.

This post intrigues me. I did a brief google search and found this:

They're instructions how to look up a car by vin, apparently you can do it via public records.
If you do manage to find your mom's car please tell us here. It would make for a really cool story, even if you can't purchase it.

Try your local mustang club if it stayed in your state they are a member probably.They are kinda right the odds of finding it are higher then winning the powerball.If the dmv can't find it then its kinda long gone when they changed over from on paper to the computers they have any info on cars that was not licensed in so many years hit the trash.As a kid my dad had a 71 mustang and i remember seeing tons of early mustangs in the junkyards in the late 80s most got crushed by now.
