Classic Mustang Dataplate Decoder

Classic Mustang
Dataplate Decoder

Obtain a list of original options for your Classic Mustang based on the codes stamped on your Mustang's dataplate. Works with all 1964.5 through 1973 Mustangs.

Custom design dataplate forms:
Data entry forms that look like your dataplate. Select your year Mustang:
1965 | 1966 | 1967 | 1968 | 1969 | 1970 | 1971 | 1972 | 1973

Instructions:

Enter all the codes found on you Mustang's door dataplate into the matching fields. Because of different door tag styles, data fields may not apear in the same order as the ones found on your Mustang's door tag.

If your dataplate is missing, enter your Vehicle Identification Number (V.I.N.) in the Warranty Number field. This will allow you to get some information about your Mustang.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The warranty plate may not be the same one that originally came on the car. (i.e. the door was changed after an accident) Compare the VIN on the plate to the one under the hood (65-67) or on the dash (68-73) to determine if the plate is original.
