#0156 added to list (page 1 reply #2)

Another forum member asked if we could list the cars by SA completion dates instead of by VIN sequence.
I've been holding off until we fill in more of the November and December builds so there are less "?" marks.
If anyone might know of a car not on our list please let us know.

It's been a long tine since I've been able to make any update here.

#00016 at Mecum Indy now added and as expected. (Thanks Brian!)


We're still looking for any early cars not on the list, especially anything in the #00090 through #00125 VIN range.
I think that is where we may see the change over occurred from 1pc to 2 pc and from band/clamps to plates.

I talked to Jeff Sneathen this past weekend at the Meacum Auction and he said that he made a small run of one piece grills. You might call SEMO Mustang for any details.

#10 (not mine) slant grille

#10 (not mine) slant grille

We can see the center grille light support plates on it.
It might be a 2 pc slanted grille, not the typical one piece grille expected on an early car.
The 1/9/67 SA completion date could be the reason for that. Thanks for posting the photo.

I've updated the original list (still by VIN number order) on page 1 in reply #1.

Since we are not finding many additions to the data, I am adding a second list in SAI completion date order. (previously requested)
This second list focuses on the approximate time the transition took place (12/1/66 - 12/7/66) showing some cars built before and after this timeframe.
NOTE; These are based on how cars appear in photos. They are not based on any documentation as nothing is known to exist for this changeover.
