    Hello I have a 4 door 1975 Mercury Comet. I've been trying to decode my VIN. I got some of it figured out but the website I was at doesn't match the VIN as mine.
    Here's My VIN:

    5K30L525297
    Body 54B
    Color 47
    Trim MG
    Trans. W
    Axle 6
    DSO 46

    Here's what I have decoded so far, I'm most likely wrong, so please help me out :D
    Made October 1975 (Unsure about October)
    6-250 -1 bbl - 70-85 Horsepower (Not sure what 6-250 or 1 bbl and unsure)
    25,297th made (unsure but makes sense because I read in a website there was only around 53,000 made in 1975)
    Body Comet 4 door Standard (Certain)
    Color 47 Light Green (certain but the VIN doesn't say so)
    Trim Lt. Green - Barletta B/Cloth and Corinth Vinyl (L/B Bench) (Certain the whole car is a beautiful Green)
    Trans. C4 automatic (Not sure what that means. 4 cylinder?)
    Axle 3.00.1
    DSO Twin Cities (Makes sense if it means Twin Cities Minnesota, I got the car in Green Bay, Wisconsin)

    This is as far as I've gotten after a week of research and I found this website: http://home.comcast.net/~petebre/maverick/decode/1975.html

    Any help would be greatly appreciated :D Sorry if this is in the wrong section
