My old '83 Capri RS (that I still have all the original paper work for (registration, price window sticker etc.) was sold about 4 years ago. The kid won't sell it back, but I was wondering what number it was off the line and some more info based on the VIN

1MEBP79F2DF610827

My "new" '83 Capri RS has the VIN 1MEBP79F6DF614685

Which car came off the line first? Where they build at the same place? Can some one decipher for me?

Thanks
