mine is 100712

Ummm... Now that's a low VIN...

I once owned a '76 Mustang II that had the VIN of 100026(no doubt a pre-production build), but it's by far the lowest I've owned...

here's my production # for my 87 Cougar.  710693
You would think that you'd see a lot more of these things still driving around for numbers that high.
Built in Lorain, Ohio... Anyone surprised?..lol

Nope, I don't think they all left the factory yet!!, I think guys like Eric are holding on to them, maybe releasing them once a year.

My Marauder is 611562, but VINs are mixed with the Grand Marquis... According to the Certificate of Authenticity it's the 754th built, by VIN assignment it's the 701st to be serialized...

Supposedly my '93 Lightning is the #249th built but I've never ordered a report to verify that number...

LOL they have VINs close enough to have been built one after the other or maybe a week apart...

Tags varied from year to year, I'm only really familiar with the '88(they were the only ones I've seen with a date) but the first number I believe is the rotation number(Build sequence for the week)... Next are the last six of the VIN and 9L is the paint code, I dunno about the remainder but trim code and similar info are likely included...

If you send your VIN to Ford via https://secure.corporate.ford.com/footer/contact-ford/contact-us-email?contactMainTopic=PublicAffairs ..select vehicle & service issues from the drop down menu, they'll send you a letter with all of the options original to the car, if you're going that route ...I'll scan mine when I get a chance

Very cool info guys!  I just sent my info off to Ford as the original window sticker was lost years ago.
