No tag per say, but the Ford logo stamping instead.
It's there to identify parts that are not OEM.

I remember on my 99 Trans Am the VIN was etched on every piece of glass, even the T-Tops. I thought that was nice in case someone stole your T-Tops.

The VIN on the S197 is only stamped in a couple of areas, not on every body panel.

I may be wrong, but I remember my 88 having a vin on every body panel. I just wondered if the new Mustangs had the same.

Ford stamping VINs on body panels?
I be a thinkin not.
Part #s, yes because they have a purpose.
But whats the purpose of VINs on the panels?
It would be a big ol waste of time and manpower.
Ford never did and never will.
Its pointless.
