Great story and a great car. I can tell you right now that the VIN will tell you pretty much nothing that you don't already know. In fact, I can tell you most of your car's VIN right now. It will be of the form 864_XXXXXX

8 = 8 cylinder engine
6 = Starfire series.
4 = 1964 model year
_ = a letter that indicates the plant where built (M = Lansing, A = Atlanta, K = Kansas City, Kansas, L = Linden, New Jersey, C = South Gate, California, T = Arlington, Texas)
XXXXXX = six digit production sequence number at that plant.

VINs back then were not very sophisticated. If you post a photo of the cowl tag, which is riveted to the firewall under the hood, it can be decoded to give more information about options and colors.
