I have a original 67 owners manual which has the following information in the owners Identification area,
Name of owner: (left out for privacy reasons)
Owners Address: (ditto)
purchase date: June 29, 1967
Selling Dealer Moffet Ford
address: 5292 Carpinteria Ave.
Warranty Number: 6R07A177219

Doesn't this indicate that this is a 66 Coupe. Would they have sold this car as a 67 Model.

Does it have any of the other info such as Body, Colour, Trim, Date, DSO, Axle, and Trans numbers? It may be that it was built in late (November & December) of 1966, making it one of the first/early 1967 Mustangs.

No, all I have is the manual, however I have a 67convertible that was built in the same factory on Nov. 14, 1966 and it has a 7R03xxxxx number on it

Maybe they bought a 1966 Mustang late in the year and they gave it a 67 Manual because there wasn't a whole lot changed other than the appearance of the body. Or, maybe someone bought a 1966 Mustang, and found a 1967 manual, filled it out, and then got rid of the car. Although, it is interesting. I used Mustang Secret Decoder, and here is what it said. It looks like it may have been a 1966 Mustang GT.

1966
Plant: R-- San Jose, CA
Body Series: 07-- 2 Door Hardtop
Engine: A-- 289 4v V8

Hello. What probably happened was, someone bought a new 66 coupe, traded it in for a 67 model car, someone else bought said 66 coupe, but it didn't have an owners manual in it, so the dealership gave them a 67 owners manual. That would be my guess.

[joef21]

Good guesses, If anyone still has this coup, I will be glad to give him the manual.

I have no info on 6R07A177219 in my book but it would have a scheduled build date around March 26, "26C".


Another theory is it was a possible 66 left over on the lot that didn't sell until late in the 67 model year that the dealer threw that owners manual in with.
