    Deceased (Strut towers gone as well as floors, front frame rails, and rear sub frame)

    1983 Mustang Convertible
    VIN 1FABP27F7DF142428

    The door tag is missing the key fields. I've included pics of the buck and door tags.
    The car has been repainted at some point.

    Where do you find the buck tag? I just bought an 83 5.0 convertible and even though I had a fairmont back in the day, I'm pretty new to the fox body.

    Usually along the outside top of the radiator support. Held on by 1 screw next to the driver's side front facia bracket.
