Matt Sexton and I are looking for a complete VIN for one of the cars 123030 or earlier. These cars did not show up in CARFAX using the same first digits as the later cars. We need an early car complete VIN to help us effectively search for data on the earlier ones.

We now have positive VIN ID for 130 cars with positive ID but no VIN on 5 others. Some surprizing info that has been revealed by CARFAX is two exported to Japan and one to Saudi Arabia. Additionally CARFAX has turned up a VIN for 123194. It is thought that 123177 was the last one off the assembly line in 1997 and 123200 was a later special build in 2000, registered in 2002 (Cobra 4.6 motor). The specs and history for 123194 are of great interest as it does have an actual assigned VIN, but no details on the specs.

In addition we know of at least a single digit number of completion cars that were begun in the factory, but not assigned factory VIN's.

Any additional info on an early car VIN, about 123194 and most of the completion cars would be greatly appreciated.

We are also looking for more info on the 9 inch rear ends and rear brake parts/source used on the cars up through '95.

Thanks,
Mike
