this is the sticker on the front of the stock air box. thanks in advance

 

My guess would be the date and time the part was made. Sounds good to me.

 

that was my original guess - but i dont know why it would matter to know the time this part was made...

 

It's fords way of knowing these things for some reason (maybe so they know where it is when going down the line? Was your car possibly assembled on 4/10/06?

 

if i knew how to find the info out about assembly date/time - i would let you know

 

Another odd sticker is located either on your spare tire cover or stuck inside the spare tire well. Have a look. Some think that is the date of your build. Others say it is the date of manufacture of the spare. Again...

 

mine was on the fiberboard cover - showed a mfg date of 4/16/07.. almost on the birthday of the mustang

it also showed an 'engine level 01' and some other info

 

This is a resource for Ford to track warranty, possible TSB concerns, and defective parts before, during and after production.
