I do not have a date for that one. I will see if I can get in touch with the owner and get more info on it. All I have is the VIN. There is one in the DB that is about 25,000 before it and it has a date of 08/79.
It would have to be really close to a late run in 79. It is wild to me how Ford does that. Maybe it was a late order delay in parts?
It makes sense to just go to the newer model year. If I was a dealer in 8-79 I would be trying to move the 79's out to prepare for the 80's, yet one is being built in 8-79. It could be it was a special order car and not just dealer stock.
What is the latest run you have seen for a car. Like you said 8-79.

08/79 is the latest that I have seen for 1979 models, and the earliest that I have seen for 1980 models. But that is not the last '79 or the first '80.
Fox Chassis Can you decode the Door Tag from this Car. Thanks
Looks like it was made in 5-79
