money order will do just fine

 

More information from some research I've been doing for the last few minutes.

Here is a VIN from one of the show cars:



That's 1FAFP42X95S100194, which looks like a typical Mustang VIN.

Region (1): North America
Country (1F): U.S.A.
Manufacturer (FA): Ford
Model Specific (FP42X): Unknown
Check Digit (9): Invalid
Year (5): 2005
Assembly Plant (S): S
Serial Number (100194): 100194

Now for the VIN that Bhead32 has:

Region (1): North America
Country (1Z): U.S.A.
Manufacturer (ZV): Ford
Model Specific (FT82H): Unknown
Check Digit (1): Valid
Year (5): 2005
Assembly Plant (5): 5
Serial Number (102031): 102031

So it looks like you really do owe him $10, Kevin

BTW, I found this really cool site for VIN decoding:

http://www.analogx.com/contents/vinview.htm

 

all US built Fords start 1F canadian 2F mexico 3F, including 05 models


04 mustang:
1FAFP40604F154993
............... ^^
Every single vin on every model currently has a check letter in one of those spots.

05 Focus us built:
1FAHP34N25W120351
05 Focus mex build:
3FAHP37N05R106818
04 freestar can build:
2FMDA51624BA30468

Ford GT supercar:
1FAFP90SX5Y400111

 

You are correct 1F. Duh, can't read my own writing. [/b][/quote]
bullittman you were most likely correct the first time. Your vin does start with 1Z not 1F

Yeah thanks guys.......Got a little too pumped up there, guess I sort of can read my own writing then :bang: . Anyway it's progress

 

Check back for the topic (we are getting closer) the first page. Then click the Ford fleet link, now click the maintance tab, and then the vin decoder. This might be varification, I dont know,but it is a Ford page.
I will add a post to it to get it up front with this one. :scratch:

just says...

if you type in my vin number to http://www.analogx.com/contents/vinview.htm it will say that ZV is ford... settled

 

yes,but the 04's ,and back all start 1F. GET IT!!!!!!!!!!

 

On a brief side note... a few dealers have told me that they were having trouble entering any more GT orders due to lack of V6 request, something about exceeding that 55% mix... -Kevin is this ?

 

My dealer looked up my car on his computer while I was looking on. I saw the other 4 vehicles and asked him why a 2005 V6 said temp delay next to it. He said thats because they arent going to get any V6s at first, they are puttin the V6s on hold. I dont know wether this is because there is lack of demand or wether they just want to sell GTs first because they only get a certain number of cars at first and want to make as much money possible(GT more expensive than V6).

 

 

I also received a vin from my salesman:

1ZVHT82H855100799

He also states "no production date as of now".

 

I'll have my VIN # Monday afternoon... can't wait

 

So does this mean that the earlier you get your VIN, the earlier your mustang is gonna be built??

 

I think it depends on options... some may be delayed

 

05Stangfan here is the thread

 

I am willing to plunk down $10 to say that they will start to show up on lots sooner than September ...
