    Hey Paul, here's 4 more (I'm the owner of all of them)...maybe you can just edit your last post:

    4X93L153470 (Running, but soon to be a parts car)
    1X91T144507 (Parts car...the lowest '71 St. Thomas so far)
    0K91T229190 (Running...the lowest '70 KC so far and in awesome stock shape)
    0K91T246173 (No running but will be restored)

    Updated to include MavMike

    That's what I usually do, but there seems to be a time limit or number of edits limit on posts. It does make for a lot of additional pages, but it's nice to have an update closer to the more recent posts too.

    Thanks for sharing your VINs!:Handshake

    I have added you to the list, see POST #346.

    The DSO (District Sales Office) on your sticker reads 84, which corresponds to "Home Office Reserve". It also looks like your car was Orange (61) and must have had the 3/4 White (HW) vinyl top? Much like the one in the 1977 Maverick Sales Brochure??

    [​IMG]

    Do you know much about the history of your car? I haven't seen DSO 84 before, just curious. Thanks for sharing your VIN.:Handshake

    Looks like B4 to me. Wouldn't that be a Canada DSO.

    Color is Vista Orange....the color I painted my 1972 Grabber.

    And here I thought no one looked at this thread:rolleyes: Now look at the traffic it's getting. What makes it worse, is that I'm using a 24" monitor!! Is 33 too young for bi-focals??:rofl2:


    Here I am thinking I'm being Sherlock Holmes, but I end up looking like Inspector Gadget!

    D=Decade 1970
    5=1975
    D=Maverick
    F=General Parts

    9D6260=Engineering Number for Air Cleaner 96260, but the "D" representing a sub-assembly to the 96260 part.

    Does that say 250/300 6?? :hmmm: And I'm not even going to try to guess the last bit, but most likely a Revision-"BB"? "A" would be the first revion of the part.

    Oh, and thanks for trying to set me up with a blurry, double-stamped part number that's upside-down! I couldn't even tell a "B" from an"8" this morning!:16suspect:rofl2:

    So I'm gonna say (and prepare to be flamed for) that it's a 1975 Maverick Air Cleaner for a 250 CID. Many parts got carried over to the next model year, so the "75" part may be perfectly original to your 76. I'm sure if I'm wrong, someone will chime in...
