Build date for my Dearborn '66-need help

OK guys, I need some help here. My build date on my '66 bucktag says 226. Now I've been assuming that it meant to say 22G, but it's recently come to my attention that this may not be a correct assumption and it's messing with the possibility that my HCS may be a dealer clone. The reason this is so important is that the cars arrived in Denver on the 18th of July, my build date was (assuming the 22G is correct) was the 22nd and the cars weren't released to the public until the 23rd. I know there could be a 2 week gap on either side of that buck tag as to when the car was actually built, but it would make more sense that is would be later as opposed to earlier based o the fact that nobody in the Denver DSO knew what the color looked like until they arrived, which wasn't until the 18th. Unless some paint chips or something like that had been sent out for promotional items. What I need to do is compare my VIN consecutive # with other '66 Dearborn #'s and build dates to see when my car was possibly built to make sure that the assumed "G" is correct or not. Can you guys with Dearborn built '66's help? I'm trying to find out whether my HCS is a factory HCS or a dealer special ordered HCS. I'm still trying to figure out the circumstances for why this car was built the way it was and why it would have come from Dearborn instead of San Jose.

Here's the full buck tag other than the VIN.

65A "blank paint" 26 226 510065 6 1.

Is 6F07C720824 a Dearborn car? or a San Jose car? The HCS's were all supposed to be built in San Jose, but my car has the original badges and paint that only the HCS's had, except it's a Dearborn car !?!?!?!?!?!?

The DSO "510065" shows this car was indeed a special order............

Thanks Bill, I know it was a special order, I'm trying to figure out the approximate correct build date, since the buck tag is screwy. That's why I need some other VIN's and build dates from Dearborn, to see when this car was built (approximately).

I just need some guys with 66's built in Dearborn to post their VIN's and build dates so I can compare to my VIN to "bracket" the possible time frame that it was built. If anybody is posting publicly, just send me the consecutive unit # and build date. Just remove "nospam" from my email reply address.

oops, If anybody is "worried" about posting publicly is what that one sentence was supposed to say.

21st of July to the 22md of July 1966 was you approximate build date. Give or take a day or two either way............

All based on know production numbers, serial numbers, and a off-line database of said items. All mustangs were produced within a set amount of days from their assigned scheduled build date. By late 1966, with Ford gearing up for the change over to the 1967 Model year, the Mustangs in the system were produced on time in conjunction with their assigned build dates....Plus or minus one day.................Further, knowing your serial number, and the "last production" day of August 11th, 1966 (not the 12th as found in print) at the Dearborn Assembly plant makes things a whole lot simpler than one would suspect.
