I have been enjoying Mustangs since the 70's and was never really concerned with Vins and dates excpt the obvious 641/2 dates, body code and engine codes.
One point of clarity I need is sequential Vin numbers with respect to 3 assembly lines. Were these numbers collated or assigned or did a super computer keep up with what cars rolled off the line? I assume that there are no duplicate consecutive numbers or are there? I know the plants each had a designation letter - did they each run their own consecutive numbers? Are there 3 100001 cars out there?
I have 3 65 mustangs, 2 from dearborn , 1 from San Jose. The vin # on my San Jose lags far behind the numbers on my Dearborn cars even though it was produced much later - 19V. It's data plate is perplexing me. Late 65 date but it shows an F color code which is a 641/2 color.
Does anyone know what the last San Jose # is? I just looked up the 66 F color which shows to be Arcadian blue which I believe is a very light blue. This is an odd car. The car has the 66 side 1/4 panel chrome trim instead of 65. At first I thought the car had been clipped but now I'm wondering if the car is indeed a 65 with 66 quarters and color code. Could this be possible? I know there were many running changes but to this extent? It's an "A" code car so it's worth finding out it's origin.
I would be very relieved to know this car is untampered.
