1981 Econoline E350 Cutaway...but the "VIN" number you listed is unfamilar to me. There's a VIN plate located on the left corner of the dash, visible through the windshield that should have a 17 digit VIN on it. That I can decode.

When they manufacture a vehicle for export - they stamp a build date for an expected arrival date. i.e. nowadays it is 3 months in advance. Back in 79 it might have been 6 months (or more) to get it to Germany. This is just so that vehicles in the dealership don't seem "old" or out-of-date... |
