Ford Durango

I have what I believe is a 1979 Ford Durango. It could be a copy, but a good one. The VIN is 9E93T163651. I need help decoding the vin to see if it is a Durango or a copy. The body code is 36R on the door which is a Fairmont I believe. Did Durangos have their own code? Or is there a way to verify what this car was originally?

? There was only 200 or so made so it's hard to get info.

welcome to FTE
yes it is rare with only 212 ever made, sadly they are conversions of Fairmont made by national coach works in LA CA https://www.hotcars.com/first-durang...ne%20that%20is.
