Your car was registered using an existing Ford VIN, it is for a 1967 Mustang convertible built at the San Jose plant and was built with a 200 CID six cylinder engine. This was a common means of registering a new build and avoiding taxes on the real value of the car. This system is not legal and actually never was. I suspect that the original Mustang warranty tag is riveted on your car somewhere. Note that the aluminum tag from the door is NOT a "VIN" tag but a "Warranty" tag. The actual VIN is stamped into the body of a Mustang in several places as the "warranty" tag is removable and a VIN is not removeable nor transferrable.
