Hi,
My clone is built on top of a Jan 65 San Jose FB. It has a factory black paint underneath.. did any of the real cars come through that way, I have always wondered.

Looks like that car falls inside the range we have found many others with black undercarriage.
If you find the time could you please email the VIN to me so I can add it to the list - VIns are the only way we're going to document this and other details

Dave, since some may be hesitant to share VIN's (just a thought) and the VIN's only provide a three -six week range of when they were built maybe they can provide a approx date. That is if owners have the Mustang Production guide or can get an indication of when the car was built from the sheet metal dates - since they seem to be the closest on the car to the real build dates - provide them.
From the data I could pull up quickly
With washers
6R09K120xxx - Restored - Mid Oct 65 (by Mustang production Guide) - Invoiced 11/30, Fender dated 10/29 & 9/12
6R09K163xxx - Unrestored - Mid Feb 66 (by Mustang production Guide)
6R09K176xxx - Unrestored - Mid Mar 66 (by Mustang production Guide)
6R09K177xxx - Unrestored - Late Mar 66 (by Mustang production Guide)
6R09K178xxx - Restored - Late Mar 66 (by Mustang production Guide)
Without washers
6R09K181xxx - Not unrestored - Late April 66 (by Mustang production Guide)
Have cars with Shelby VINs before and after the car above with washers - only included cars which I had Ford VIN's for and clear pictures of the front shock mounts
