1967 Fairlane decoder anybody??

I found a 1967 fairlane GT and I was wanting to run the numbers on the VIN to see exactally what all it had from the factory. It has a built to the hills 390 in it with a manual tranny and I was just curious to see if that all was half way origional. So if anybody knows where I can run the VIN #s through to see the info on it i would appreciate it. Thanks for the help!!

Post or email me the VIN and all the codes off the Warranty Plate.

I need the codes off the Warranty Plate, because...

The VIN does not include the BODY / COLOR / TRIM (Upholstery) / DATE (of production) / DSO (where vehicle was ordered from) / AXLE / TRANS, codes.

The Warranty Plate is located on the left door face below the latch.

Example of a 1967 Fairlane VIN: 7K42S123456: 7 = 1967 / K = Kansas City Assembly Plant / 42 = 500 GT 2 dr HT / S = 390 4V / 123456 = Numerical Sequence of Assembly.

It's quite simple, really.

You are in NE, and cars/trucks sold new there were assembled in KC.

You also said it's a GT with a 390 engine. I figured it was prolly a GT HT, as very few convertibles were made.

I also have the production figures.

1967 Fairlane GT HT: 18,670

1967 Fairlane GT Convertible: 2,117.

I'll decode the info within a few minutes.

7 = 1967

K = Kansas City Assembly Plant

42 = 500 XL GT 2 Door HT

S = 390 4V

194330 = Numerical Sequence of Assembly

63D = Fairlane 500XL GT 2 Door HT

M = Wimbledon White

8A = Charcoal Black Crinkle Vinyl & Charcoal Black Rosette Pattern Vinyl

05D = Assembled May 5th, 1967

54 = Omaha NE Ford District Sales (Zone) Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the car from.

D1 = You have two codes as one.

D = Ford 9" / 3.25-1 / Limited Slip

1 = You sure this is a 1?

1 = Ford 3 Speed Manual all Syncromesh Transmission.

5 is a toploader 4 speed.

btw: If this had been a 1967 F100/350, I coulda decoded all the info in less than 3 minutes, as I have most of the codes memorized. Cars take longer, cuz I have to look everything up.

That sounds like a really cool car. I have always liked the Fairlanes and Galaxies even though I have never owned one. And yes, Bill is great at having the info that normally you can't get and then some.
