I've been trying to decode my 64 Barracuda fender tag for over two years now. I can find 65 decodes but no 64. I'm talking about the alpha/numeric section that lists options such as engine/trans; etc. I've been directed to a lot of sites but they were no help with the most important alpha/numeric section. I have a "Factory Hack Job" four speed car built April 17, 1964. It has a torch cut floor and a pop riveted trans cover. The original molded carpet is still in the car. I would like to verify that it actually is a FHJ. I have contacted Year One (twice) but they have not responded with this information. I would like to assemble a list of these special cars and compare fender tags so that we can document these hastily built factory hack job models that will forever go down in history as a desperate last minute response to the impending release of the four-speed Mustang. My car was built the very same day the 1964 1/2 Mustang was released. I can just imagine the assembly line frenzy as workers were chopping up these cars in an unheard of way; just to get them out the door as soon as possible. While the Barracuda is the first pony car, beating the Mustang by just over two weeks, These FHJs truly embody the factory hot rod spirit that soon became the norm.
