Ford keeps financial records for 8 model years. By entering the last 8 of any vin number for any Ford product into the computer it tells original MSRP, Invoice total, which dealer ordered the car and which dealer sold the car. I entered all the vin numbers for the other 89 cars with same interior / exterior and compared MSRP. There were 2 that came up EXACTLY the same, the other 5 were built between September 92 and January 93 before Ford rasised transportation charges and increased the price by $153. I then entered the copmplete vin number into Ford's warranty system and determined which cars had optional axle (a no charge item that does not affect cost). It took a couple of hours to do because I printed everything for authentication. I wish Ford would keep records longer, the Third Generation Mustang is the next classic (my 2 cents).

How did you find the car since you are in Conn? I know the rust free, bondo cars are getting more difficult to locate, especially all original. I know someday, 20 years from now, finding an all original, rust free etc. 1989 Mustang GT will (hopefully) be a treasure also.
