I just bought an 88 notch back 5.0 Regatta Blue mustang yesterday. This is a very perculiar car which was part of the draw and why I need your help. This is an automatic car that has 0 yes 0 options. By that I mean no ac, no power (except steering) anything....literally the most stripped down 5.0 you could buy with the exception of the automatic add on. I thought this was weird so I started looking into the VIN number and I hit a wall. In the VIN after the color code (P40) I have an EX and then it's the J like it should be. I can't find anything on this EX? Can anyone tell me what this means? Thanks for your help!

Assuming your vin is probably...

1FAFP40EXJ######
your car was built in the US
made by ford
is a passenger vehicle
built in 88
in dearborne michigan
is a notchback lx
and came with a 5.0

nothing weird about your vin at all
the "E" (8th Digit) is the 5.0 engine code

1FABP if that makes a difference? Weird, must have had a crappy site before as it said there wasn't an EX code on a VIN.

BTW the "P40" isnt your color code. ford doesnt put that in the vin

1FAFP and 1FABP arent any different. The ford vin does not reflect any options on the car except the body and engine.
