The VIN: 5F07C735272
Decodes as follows:
5=1965
F=Dearborn Assembly Plant
07=2dr Mustang Coupe
C=289 2V low compression engine
735272 is the production line number, usually starting at 100001
In this case, the original owner of the car used an existing Mustang Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to register the car.
It is my hope that the car the VIN came from is no longer in existence, as to have two vehicles with the same VIN, being actively titled in the federal database will cause all sorts of headaches for the owners.
As for your original question:

A VIN is stamped into the frame of a vehicle, thus identifying that vehicle with that decodable set of numbers and letters unique to that particular vehicle.
A Warranty plate is not permanently affixed to a chassis (pop rivets or rose rivets are not permanent), thus when you see such a plate mounted on a drivers door (in the case of a vintage Mustang)
The warranty number is the identical number/letter combination to the VIN permanently stamped into the chassis. You'll notice this tag is also marked below the VIN: "Not for title or Registration Purposes", again the reason for this is because it is not permanently attached to the chassis.
Hope this answers your question(s)
