How do you know what production number the car is? The last four of the vin?

cut it in half and count its rings.



or you can figure it out this way:

American VIN format:

Ford does not directly encode the platform name in the VIN, although much other information is included there. Instead, the company uses a series number to identify a vehicle type. Ford's VIN format is as follows:
Position Sample Description
1 1 World Manufacturer Identifier
2 F
3 M
4 Z Restraint type or GVWR class
5 U Model
6 7
7 3
8 E Engine type
9 0 Check digit
10 4 Model year
11 Z Factory ID
12 A Sequential number
13 6
14 9
15 1
16 0
17 1

Ford Offers a VIN decoding program (for vehicles 1982-Present) at: here
