: She just cracked up and said... (Boy this sounds familliar) : : : How would you like a complete option list for your Maverick, along with its date of production? : : I found out (by reading Mustang Monthly) that Ford'll give it to you. Just call the Ford Customer Assistance Center (CAC) and request a "History 999" report for your car. You'll need the VIN#. In about a month, they'll send you a letter containing your VIN breakdown and your option list. They even send it on a nice, frameable FordMotorCo letterhead. I did this about 6 weeks ago and got mine back. Here's the contents of the letter: : : ---------------------------------------------------------- : : Dear Mr. Ping, : : Thank you for your recent contact with the Customer Assistance Center. : : You asked the CAC to provide you with the original specifications and optional equipment for your vehicle. Your VIN number (0X91L338595) decodes as follows: : : 0 1970 Model year : : X St. Thomas Assembly Plant : : 91 Ford Maverick 2-door Hardtop Sedan : : L 250 CID 6-cyl IV Gasoline Engine : : 338595 Consectutive unit number : : This vehicle was produced 04/07/70, with the following options: : : Calypso Coral Exterior Paint Color : : Black Vinyl & Vinyl Bench Seats : : Automatic Transmission XP Type : : Conventional 3.08 Rear Axle : : D70 x 14 Fiberglass Belted Wide Oval White Side Wall Tires : : Manual Air Conditioning : : AM Radio : : Complete Tinted Glass : : Left-Hand Remote & Right Hand Racing Mirrord : : I Hope this info proves helpful, : : Sincerely, : : Steven Kim : : Research Unit Rep : : Customer Assistance Center : : ------------------------------------------------------------ : : Since my car is a 1970 Grabber, I had hoped the options would list that. They did not, but they did state that my car came with racing mirrors, Black all-vinyl interior, D70 x 14 tires, all standard on Grabber. I think the mirrors were only availible on the Grabber, but not sure. Anyway, I think it proves the car was a Grabber, as Vermillion (Calypso Coral) was also a Grabber color in 1970. : : It's cool that Ford did this for free. My letter even came from Canada since my car was built there. : : Call 1-800-392-3673, be prepared with your VIN #, to get this report. : : Not sure about their hours, just call and see. : : -CP
