The 64 1/2 came with the F code 260-2V for the base V8 and the 289 4V "D" Code engine as the step before the K code 289 hypo. The 260 was replace with the C code 289-2V for the "65" model, and the D code 289 was replaced with the A code 289-4V. The difference between the D and A is 25 more horsepower and higher compression.

The "D" from the dataplate from the initial note in this string is actually the color code. Looking at the VIN of 5F07T799675, the engine code is "T", or a 200 six.

Hate to break it to you, but this is not a 64 1/2. The build date says it all, along with the consecutive unit number 799675 in the VIN.
