I purchased my 2005 convertible V6 in late March 2005. Is there any way to tell from the serial number (or otherwise) what
number my car was of the new style mustangs produced? Thanks.

 

Number 465786. Really not rare so why worry?

 

You would have to speak with someone at Ford and provide them with the VIN number for your car. Good luck.

 

last 6 of vin# is the Production Sequence Number

 

Probably impossible to tell ... aren't they made on the same line as Mazda's? So the sequence numbers are probably intermingled ...

 

From my short time at a car plant, the sequence numbers are contiguous for the models, even if the line itself makes different vehicles. it's actually a very important part of the process, to keep these things straight.
So Yes, I would suggest that the VIN would contain the info you need as PartsBill says.

 

I know I have read that for 60's and 70's Fords .... The VIN sequence number represented only the order it rolled down the assembly line for plants that built multiple models. So Car 123456 would have been car # 23456 (1 is a check digit)... not necessarly number 23456 of a specific model. Perhaps things have changed.
