I have searched for this everywhere including all the various forums and I haven't been able to locate anything that explains what each of the characters in the VIN number represent. I know it has been covered at least in part before but I just can't find it.
For example, my VIN is - 6FPAAAJGSWWB71213 Can anyone help? Thanks. |

6FP = car manufacturer's prefix = Ford Australia
AAA = unused J = product source code (country of origin) G = assembly plant = Broadmeadows SW = body style code = Fairmont Ghia Sedan (also = Fairmont Sedan = XR Sedan = Futura Sedan = Forte Sedan) W = year of production B = month of production 71213 = serial number (sequential) That's all I know. Steve. |

The above post is fact, this post is (very confident) theory:
To expand the manufacturer's prefix further.. 6 = country code = Australia F = manufacturer = Ford P = ? SW would stand for Short Wheelbase because other options are.. LW = Long Wheelbase = Fairlane Ghia = LTD WA = WAgon = Fairmont Wagon = Futura Wagon = Forte Wagon CM = CoMmercial = XR Ute = XL Ute = XLS Ute Steve. |
