QUESTION: Hi,

Recently I purchased a 66 Mustang and all seemed okay, however, when I got the vehicle to Australia and again went to verify the Warranty tag info. I can not seem to verify the build date.  The warranty tag reads 9N as the build date. However when i go to a couple of decoder web sites they do not recognise 9N as a legitimate date.  Do you know if "N" represents any build month?  I know the car was in a pretty bad accident at some stage so I am guessing that when they rebuilt the car they may have put a new warranty tag on the vehilce but may have made an error in the date.  All the other warranty and Vin data does match to the car as it looks.

Your advice is much appreciated.

Peter

ANSWER: Please send me all the numbers from the data plate and then I can research it better.
