tried using Ai to decode my fender tag and here’s what it says…
I had originally decoded it as a Black on Black 383 auto car with all the trim.
Your 1965 Plymouth Satellite 2-door hardtop coupe (VIN 51157794) was scheduled for February 12, 1965, as the ~2,297th in its order line (actual ~157,794th Plymouth overall), built at Hamtramck, MI. It’s a high-performance black-on-black spec:
• Exterior: Monotone black paint (BB1), no two-tone/vinyl top. 14-inch steel wheels with 5.50x14 blackwall tires.
• Interior: Premium black vinyl bucket seats (P4X) with console, black carpet/headliner. Basic AM radio, back-up lights, 3-speed wipers, left remote mirror.
• Powertrain: 426 Street Wedge V8 (R42/61, 365 hp, 2-bbl Carter carb), likely 4-speed manual (A-833 HD), 3.55:1 rear axle (Sure-Grip probable for handling). Dual exhaust, heavy-duty suspension (1-1/8” sway bar), 11-inch drum brakes (power optional not listed).
• Other: Heater standard (no A/C), no power steering/windows listed (manual standard). Fuel: Premium required; 0–60 mph ~7 sec; 1/4-mile ~14.5 sec @ 95 mph. Original MSRP: ~$2,900 base + $528 engine + $200 premium trim = ~$4,000.
