Find out what day your car was built

[exmustanger]

Hi, Quickdraw,
Before bringing the T-bird into Canada, it had to be on an approved list of vehicles able to be imported into the country, then, go through a gov't initiated inspection within 30 days ;only three special requirements-a km/hr speedometer(it has both), child seat tethers (has them), and day-time running lights (these are in all T-birds-activated through a computer code by a Ford dealer).It was a simple procedure-no problem.Paperwork to allow the car into Canada was sent to the border by the dealer 72 hours in advance of border crossing (which had to include a Ford -generated proof that there are no outstanding recalls on the vehicle).Mark Kurkowski, my selling dealer, did a terrific job with all of this.

If Im not mistaken, while the Tbird has both MPH and KPH on the speedo dial, I believe the US version has the MPH predominate (larger) and the KPH numbers are smaller. I believe this is reversed for true Canadian spec built cars. Can someone confirm?

Yes Quickdraw. I recently saw a picture the dash of a Bird in Europe. You are correct.

I found it Harry, but I'll have to email it to you since the site won't allow me to upload, for some reason.

What day was my Tbird built?

Hi - I was wondering if you would mind checking to see what day my car was built. My VIN is 1FAHP60A04Y112675. Also, do you have any idea which car was the last 2004 built? Thanks!

The last 2004 was built 7/19/2004 the only one finished that day - this would have been the first day back to work after a two week summer vacation shutdown and was VIN 4Y112825. Without doing too much research I can tell you there were roughly 80 built after yours.
