Default Can someone decode this VIN #?

Here it is: 1FABP26M2GF284321

I know it has the 5.0, 5 speed, and quad shock suspension but I don't know the color or the rearend ratio. Thanks, in advance.

If you want to know the gears: Jack the car up, mark the rear wheel and driveshaft, spin the drive shaft and count how many times the wheel turns to one full turn of the driveshaft. ex. 1 to 3 1/2 would be 3.55 gears. 1 to 3-3/4 would be 3.73 gears
