The serial number is on a tag located on the top of the right side shock tower in the engine compartment on 64 and 65 models. The serial number gives no information except year and model series. Serial numbers were assigned to the car when it was ordered from the factory. Numbers with a single letter are assigned to cars made in Kenosha, WI. If the first letter is followed by a "K" the car was built at Kenosha as a "knock-down" kit intended for final assembly in another country. These kits usually lacked tires, belts, batteries, and sometimes interior upholstery. Those items were supplied from local sources at the assembly point. If the first letter is followed by a "T" the car was built in the Brampton, Ontario, Canada plant. 1964 - 650001 and higher 1965 - AMC started from 100001 and did not skip numbers based on body style as was done in 1965. Serial numbers starting with P indicates a 196 cid six was used, W indicates a 232, and Q indicates the 199. top Unit Body identification Plate The Unit Body Identification Plate for a 1964-65 Rambler American can be located on the latch edge of the driver's door. It can be decoded as follows: Body This is the number assigned to the body as it was being produced. It is different than the serial number. Bodies were produced in batches, so the numbers aren't consecutive to each series.? Model This identifies the body and trim levels. The first two digits are the year, the third the series, fourth body style, and fifth trim level. Base trim level is often left out (only four digits). Blanks indicate that the body and trim style was not available for the year in question. Replace "xx" with last two digits of year for complete model number.

The trim code is a 4 character number that may be prefixed by a "T". The first character is the year, the second the trim level, third color, and the fourth is the seat type. Letters after the numeric code indicate the corresponding seat and fabric types that were available. Special order interiors were available and will have a code of "00". Codes are as follows: Trim Level 1964 1965 220/330 422 - Silver/Black (220 only) 432 - Silver/Black 433 - Blue 434 - Green 435 - Red 436 - Gold 436 - Turquoise 522 - Black/Gray 532 - Black/White 533 - Blue 534 - Green 535 - Red 539 - Taupe 537 - Aqua 440/440H 441 - Black 442 - Silver/Black 443 - Blue 444 - Green 445 - Red 446 - Gold 447 - Maroon 448 - Turquoise 541 - Black 543 - Blue 544 - Green 545 - Red 546 - Cordovan/Taupe 547 - Aqua 548 - Black/White The list of seat types is as follows: C = Cloth D = Cloth bucket E = Vinyl bucket G = Cloth bucket, optional H = Vinyl bucket, optional K = Cloth bucket, optional L = Vinyl bucket, optional P = Porous vinyl V = All vinyl top Paint The following colors were available in 1964-1965. The original color can be determined by looking at the Paint code on the Unit Body Identification Plate. If there are two codes separated by a dash, the first code is the primary body color and the second code is the upper body (sometimes roof) or accent color. For example, a car that was black with a white top would have a paint code of 1-72. Paint codes may also be prefixed with a P or suffixed with an A (A is Acrylic Enamel paint). Note that some cars were painted non-standard colors. These cars will typically have a code such as " 00" or "SPEC". This was reserved for large orders in the special color, usually for fleet use.
