There is a "Current production facilities" table and below that is a "Former production facilities" table. The Z plant is in the second table.

Using FC's method, I figured out the original VIN for my engine(or the LTD II it was build for anyway) was 8Z30F631682
How can I see the history on this vehicle ? Or if it was even built ?

Okay second try, seeing that only the Marquis fits the criteria (In 79, St louis plant, had a 302)
I have found 3 different body codes for the Marquis 64/66/74
How do I know which one is right ?

66 Gran Marquis 4 Dr Sed
74 Marquis S/W
...are accurate then the possible VINs you have assembled are not correct. Gran Marquis is not the same as Marquis.
Now which one out of a list of bunch of VINs is the right one? Only confirmation from Ford's production database will tell you that. In other words, a Marti report. Order one for ever VIN and they will kick the bad ones back to you not charge you. You'll only get charged for the good VIN. There is no way to verify records on a vehicle history report website. Those sites only do 17-character (1981 and later) VINs.

Can anyone tell me the year, make, model and the full VIN of the vehicle that this partial VIN belongs to? ... GX123456

Edit : I wrote this under the assumption that what FC posted was an engine block stamp, not the last part of a 17 digit or an 11 digit vin
Well the GX12 is 1977 Ford Pinto Station Wagon
There is no 1 used for an engine code that I could find for Ford, Linc or Mercury, the 4 Would indicate it is indeed a Ford, so that leans me back to pinto
If you assume the G is for 1987 well then the X doesn't work as the X plant closed in 1983 , so you are **** outta luck.
HOWEVER , according to Many Ford pinto decoders, the X stands for the St Thomas Plant which would be fine, because the body code would still be 12 for the wagon in 77, but there is no 12 body code used in 1987, also there is still no 3 for an engine code.
So I'm stumped.

Partial VINs do not contain an engine code. They are always model year (1st character), assembly plant (2nd), and sequence number (3rd-8th).
For 11-character VINs (1980 and earlier) it is positions 1-2 and 6-11 What is not in the partial VIN is the body code (3-4) and the engine code (5).
For 17-character VINs (1981 and later) it is positions 10-17. What is not in the partial VIN is WMI codes (1-3), restraint/brakes/GVWR code (4), vehicle type code (5), body type code (6-7), engine code (8), and check digit code (9).
Model years started using a letter in 1981 so the letter G is not 1980 or earlier.
St. Thomas Assembly (in Talbotville, Ontario, Canada) closed in 2011.
I have edited the 'List of Ford Factories' wiki page and put the "X (NA)" assembly plant code in its proper location.

Correct. Did you do it the hard way (my 8-step process on page 1) or use the pdf link above for most of the info?
