Ford Mustang VIN decoder

The VIN on a 1964½-1969 Ford Mustang can reveal important facts about the car, including confirming its model year, the assembly plant it was built at, body style, engine code, and production sequence. That makes it a valuable tool for owners, buyers, and restorers who want to check a vehicle's identity or confirm its original specification.

For an even fuller decode, many cars also carry a warranty plate, often referred to as the door tag. This is usually found on the driver-side door near the latch mechanism and contains additional factory codes. Those codes can identify the original body type, paint colour, interior trim, build date, sales district, axle ratio, and transmission. Together, the VIN and warranty plate can reveal a surprisingly detailed picture of what a particular Mustang looked like when it left the factory.
