65A covers several years.

Your VIN number and your body style are two different numbers/codes. I have two 66 Mustangs that have the first three characters the same as yours, '6R0', one is a hardtop, the other a Faxtback. The body style of the hardtop is '65A' which means the body is a hardtop with a standard interior. The Fastback is body style '63B' which means the body is a Fastback with the 'Interior Decor Group' or Pony interior. There is another code, '76; for convertibles. If you bought a 2007 Mustang hardtop it's body style is '63' which is for a Fastback or as some 69 owners would say, Sportsroof. My 1960 Ford Starliner had a body code of '63' which also related to a sloping rear roofline, aka Fastback.

What's the first five characters of your VIN number as stamped on the door data plate, your left hand fender apron under the hood and from your registration? This is make sure your car hasen't been tampered with.
