http://www.mustanggt.org/forms/decoders.htm you sure that you wrote that down proper.Because the the 6th and 7th didgit should be either 27 or 28.Either way check out this link.

Hey 86GreenMachine your decoder only works with the GT models. He listed that he has an LX. The decoder that I listed says that a 26 = Body Code : 2-DR Notchback.

Edit:
Sorry if this looks likeI just repeated what raven said but we must have been typing at the same time! [8D]

Thats funny that the decoder knows that my car began life as a 4banger but my insurance didn't know. And then they wanted to look under the hood(after the swap), lucky for me i didn't have the car with me and they believed me that the M in the vin stood for 4 banger (not that i think it does but at the time i NEEDED to make something up for them to believe me that it was a 2.3 and i have super low rates now)

edit: does that M stand for michigan?
