VIN Sequence number... how close is your car to someone else's???

This thread was created with the intentions of people comparing their VIN of their maverick/comet to others around you. Three things will decide how "close" one car is to another; Year, Assembly Plant, and Sequence number.

For those who dont know, the year is depicted by the first digit of your vin, the assembly plant by the second, and the last six digits of your vin is your car's individual number for that model year/at that assembly plant.

I got the idea from this thread:
http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?p=626475#post626475
from posts 19, 20 & 21



"my" three cars that i plan to keep have the following VIN's.... so if your car was built at the same assembly plant as mine, in the same year, then check your last 6 and see how close you are!

1971 2dr: 1K91F229142
1973 4dr: 3K92F156639
1973 2dr: 3K93F178258

 

BTW, being the keeper of the '73 Grabber registry i have only found 2 vin's that were "close" but they were built at different assembly plants....

one was submitted by Craig Selvey, vin: 3F93F106480
the other by Dave Boyer, vin: 3K93F106473

 

wow thats close!

 

I love this idea. Here are some of my VIN's:

'69.5 - 0X91T167193
'72 beater - 2K91T146486
'73 2 door - 3X91L316890
'73 4 door - 3X92L100945
'73 4 door - 3K92L160713
'74 Grabber - 4W93L159085

I don't recall off the top of my head what either of my '76 parts cars or my '72 Grabber's VIN is. I'll check this weekend.

Koopstamaverick on here has a '69.5 that's only 26 cars apart from mine. My VIN ends in 167193, and his ends in 167167, both St. Thomas cars, and they were both buck tagged on the same day!

 

Glad I saw this, I was about to post another topic similar to this, although I was going to keep my first post updated, like this:

= No longer with us

= Stallion

= Does not/did not own (junkyard find, etc.)

XXXXXXXXXX = Comet

Mine is 4K91L133632

 

75 Maverick-5K92L118469

 

75, kansas, 5K91F196984

 

72 Mav 2k91f114660
70 Mav ox91t398474

It would be really cool to find some consecutive numbers

 

They start off at 100001 at each plant. Would love to see if anyone can beat my 100945 VIN, regardless of model year. Only other I know of lower, belongs to the member maverickdvm, who has a '69.5 with the VIN ending in 100009!! Probably the earliest Maverick in existence. Would also love to see the highest VIN, Yellow75's 398474 is going to be hard to beat.

 

Kansas Mav 1K93L100052 would be a thrill to find one close!

 

Okay, see if anybody can beat this:
71 Grabber - 1K93F183792
71 Grabber - 1K93F183797

I own both of these cars. The 1st one I bought in 1974, 2nd one 30 years later. Both factory v8 cars. The 1st one Grabber green, 2nd one is my Grabber blue one. Being that these sequence numbers were used for all Ford cars there is a good possibility these two cars were back to back on the assembly line...definitely very close if not.

 

VIN numbers were not back to back on the assembly line. When a car was ordered, it was assigned a VIN number. Very possible they could have been days and even weeks apart on the assembly line.

 

My 74 Grabber is 4X93F218121
My 73 Grabber is 3K93F257948 (not the green one as listed earlier)

The vin numbers in cars, don't necessarily mean they came off the line in that order, Kevin Marti and Legendary Ford's magazine have both written articles on vin's and how they are structured.

 

Either way, its still pretty cool to get 2 cars one digit apart even if they are manufactured at different times
