    Default 83 notch vin

    Can we verify that this a true 5.0 notch?

    Something is amiss... that power steering pump with a v belt pulley is a red flag. However the engine code does show it (or at least the owner card VIN) was to a 5.0 equipped car.

    That's what my car was originally (and will be again soon). According to my Marti there were 801 with that engine/trans combo.

    The stats on Marti deluxe reports are by body code in the VIN. The "801 With these Engine/Transmission Codes" stat on your report is for body code 26 in the VIN or, as the report states, "For the Mustang 2-Door Sedan". In the 1983 Mustang model year VIN body code 26, or 2-door sedan, was used for THREE models: L, GL, and GLX. So the "801" stat on your report is for all L/GL/GLX coupes combined. It is not just for GL coupes. Now according to Ford literature the L model was not available with the 5.0L engine so if that is accurate that leaves the "801" stat on your report for all GL/GLX coupes combined.

    Were all GLX's convertibles? If so, how many were 5.0L?
