I finally got my VIN# 1zvhp82h755147497. I never thought I would be so happy to get a few numbers and letters. I called the dealership Friday and the salesmanager was off of course. He probably got tired of talking to me every Friday. Anyway the salesperson that sold me the car said he would find a way to check on the order for me. Finally he called me around 6p.m. and had a VIN. Anyway I know i'm kind of late to the party since alot of you have your rides but I figured I would share. This gets 1 banana. . Anyone got a ball park on how long I have now?

Did he give you your build date or the status of your order, if not, call him back.

When did you order?

Altoid

Says "Ordered: 10/18/04" in his signature.

Should not the "P" in his VIN number be a "T" ?????

holderca1

Sorry guys I started the post this morning, so I haven't checked the new posts til now. What's the deal with P and T in my VIN? Please don't give bad news like the dealership orderd a V6 instead of a GT. Also I took the liberty of calling ford customer service and she said from her records that the car should be released from the plant Jan. 10 with an arrival date of the week of the 18th. Please somebody reply about this P and T issue b/c now I 'm freaked out.

Dunno what to tell you, the serial number part of it doesn't jive for such an old order either. The last part of it looks like it was JUST ordered.

The First part doesn't jive with my VIN either, and I got the GT as well.

I think I see what you're saying now, it should be T82 instead of P82, b/c T82 is the code for a GT not P82. I'm hoping that maybe I misunderstood the salesperon when I wrote down the VIN. But if that's the case then how did the girl at Ford cutomer service not catch that and say that it was not a Mustang GT b/c I told her that's what I ordered. Man this is getting to be too much with this car. I'm almost tired of screwing with it. Maybe I should have just gotten a truck like my wife suggested. :bang:

Stubbies

I believe you did, as I just tried my VIN and yours in Ford's own fleet manager VIN decoder site, mine came up as a valid VIN, your VIN up top did not.

hauss1

Is that something that I can access or do you work for Ford? I just didn't know. If it is something that I can't access could you try my VIN with a T instead of a P.

Stubbies

Nah man, I don't work for Ford, I work for the USAF.

I just did a search using identification as the word (as the acronym vin was too short to allow for a search) and after a bit of digging located this site reference. Enjoy

Hey Stubbies, we are all in trouble if we go by what that Ford Fleet site says, that you posted. The 8th position of our VIN, the letter "H" comes up showing 4liters and 6 cylinders. We have GT's with 6 cylinders. You guys have got to check this out, it is kinda funny............we are screwed.

Appreciate it man. I went to the link you suggested and subbed the T for the P. That change brought up that it was in fact a mustang GT. I'm just concerned b/c for me to misunderstand the dealer and the ford rep to misunderstand me and get it right is just unlikely. I 'm calling the dealership in the morning. All I want is my car, and it shouldn't be this complicated.

I did the same thing, my dealer left my VIN number in a voice mail on my cell phone, i wrote it down, called customer service and they told me my car was built and ready to ship, just didn't have an ETA, i later on went to erase th message from my house hold phone and some of the letter sounded different, sure enought the 1st vin i thought was mine was 1ZBFP8... when in reality it was 1ZVFT8... so i called Customer service back and they told me i had a build date of 1/3-1/10...i was so upset! i would definaltly make sre you got the correct VIN number.

P.S. I went to that VIN finder website thing posted and typed in my VIn number and it told me a valid 17 character VIN should be entered, when i had 17 characters entered...what could this mean, i even went back and redid it a few times with the same results.

BEACHBOY

Have you guys tried that Ford Fleet site that Stubies provided? It is a couple posts up, If you put your VIN in there, and it is a GT like mine it shows the car has a 4liter 6 cylinder, way to funny or is it?????????????

With my luck my dealership has probably got me a ford festiva wiht black exterior and red leather being delivered. lol.

HorsC

what is going on!? why won't it tell me about my VIN?!

hauss1

I just tried it too. I couldn't get it to do anything either.
