Tried using the freeware on the internet and it keeps saying my build date is not acceptable. I even checked it on the build tag and it's correct. The tag reads like this:
6F07C720324 65A (blank paint code) 26 226 510065 6 1I know what it all means except for the build date??
66 Coupe black standard interior, special paint, built in Dearborn with the C code 289 2V, unit # 720324. 3 spd manual tranny with 2.80 rearend., but whats the build date mean??? 226??Scott Williams '66 HCS
Scott, with you VIN, you build date should be either 18G or 19G, which would place it at the 18th or 19th of July 1966. Double check your built date again to make sure it is not a typo on your door data plate (hey it happened).................

My friend has in his '65 coupe date stamp that also cannot be decoded:
VIN is 65A P 29 300 95 15 5T07A146265
That 300 should be date code but it cannot be decoded. In my 1966 coupe date code is 07M which is December 07 1965

Seriously Bill, it says 226 for build date. I don't get it either?!?! Could it be a typo for 22G?
