Door Tag Decode

[KevinK]

I tried the link to decode the door tag but it says bad VIN just like it did yesterday for the buck tag. I try to be self sufficient.

86 Mustang GT VIN

1FABP27M7GF228929

Most of it is straight forward. My guesses below. Probably the only important one is the radio.
Ext Paint 9L, Oxford White
DSO 72, San Jose
Body 66B, Convertible
V/R ?
Int Trim GW, gray and white (seats and door panels)
Tape 1, Gray hood decal
R 6, Radio type?
Ax M, ?
TR 2BBTT, ?

Thanks for any info.

1FABP27M7GF228929 is an invalid VIN (the check digit "7" is not valid for the other 16 characters). The correct check digit for 1FABP27MxGF228929 is "6". The correct VIN would be 1FABP27M6GF228929.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, what I posted is exactly what is on the door tag. There is no "6". I will check the windshield. I would post a photo but photos have not worked here for years.

Windshield tag vin is the same as the door.
VIN confirmed with CA DMV.

You posted last six of the VIN as 228929. The last six of the VIN in your pics is 228292.

Ok, my error. It did pop up on my computer but then advanced to a search screen. It seemed to work fine on my iPad. Thank you.

Any idea if #6 radio is manual or ETR?

Code 6 radio is the fancy one ... AM/FM electronic search stereo radio with cassette tape player
