  • 2 sets of vin numbers

    How do you know that fastback DID exist at one time? I think when Ford put the V beside it, then its existence ceased.In all my years of mustang restorations I have never seen a front clip replaced exactly like the factory job.This car has no telltale signs of any rewelding anywhere.As far as the larger font goes,I read they had a machine clamp onto the inner apron for stamping.If this were the case it would not be able to stamp above its normal spot.Remember, Ford was producing 1000 mustangs per day and didnt get everything right.

    The 2 hidden vins are done the same way with the V in front and behind 6R09K178532.I believe the V is for void and not salvage.The odds of finding a doner car which is also a 66 San Jose K code are slim.My car was built April 6,1966 and the voided vin number would of been available during that week of production according to other k cars in the registry.Each factory did not build all their cars numerically and the vin numbers were spread out with other factorys.My research shows each factory did not recieve a block of sequential numbers.

    Under a search for 6R07K182294 in the archived topics there is a discussion on a restamped vin number which was done at the factory on the assembly line.I have done a complete teardown and restoration on this car.All 3 vin numbers have the corrected restamp.There is no signs of damage or front clip replacement to this car.I compared it with another stripped down 66 side beside it.The story is the first stamping was for a fastback and corrected to a coupe.I believe this was a factory mistake corrected on the assembly line.
