Is That A Comp Prep Car

[mustang_mad]

Can you distinguish a Comp Prep car from the VIN???? Other than the deleted options....it there really a way to figure this out. Sorry this is dumb question #5............Mike

[SVOeric]

not from the vin ---

It should be listed on the history 999 report --
But that's not a guarantee --

Also depending on years, you can check the spring codes on the door.

The heater/ac is usually a pretty good indication.

So what you are saying it that these things could be faked quite easily. Buyer beware? Have you heard about this guy in Espanola, Ontario, Canada that supposidly got ahold of the numbers from Ford and can tell you when the car in question was produced and other relevent info? Is this too good to be true?

[richsvo]

True, not too good to be, but true...info. varies from person to person...some people seem to get more info. than others...

Use the Third Generation Registry

Use the Third Generation Registry and pay the $10 and get a print out showing production date, what number built that day, what number / sequence yours was built, and total made for your color interior / combo. One way of telling a comp prep that can be used is the "punch out" on the firewall where the A/C lines pass through to the interior. If it is still in place from the factory then it "should" be a comp prep. There are also comp preps with dealer installed A/C. And of course somebody could always find a LX body with no A/C and build a clone. The best / quickest way to tell is if they have a copy of the window sticker.

concerning the 999 report- if it is a true comp car it will state"competition prepared option".
the only "delete" item was the radio and it will reflect "radio delete".
thanks

comp prep

not to beat a dead horse.
my straight run 86, 999 report , does not mention competion prep package which it is not. nor does it mention it as an svo(except in the vin-P28)

my comp car 86,999 report, states "competion prep package -radio delete", which it is.

sorry about the verbage as the originals were out in the barn and i had to retrieve them.
thanks
