    I've also seen where Ford lists the District Sales Office (DSO) Code of 87 as:

    "Ford Body Engineering"

    Hmmm...this is interesting. I wonder if your Maverick was used by Ford for engineering and testing.

    If your car is a Canadian car (sold new in Canada) it'll have a "B" in the DSO.
    B7 is Pacific Canada Ordering District.
