    Default Buck tag decode

    This has dealer installed A/C, tilt steering and cruise control factory ford premium sound system, standard interior.
    Door Tag Codes:
    Body Tag Codes:capri 605842 610 M 0853 1CC DF ST 06 HB S WD 02 Y E1 06 2 X 2

    This ASC Capri seems a bit odd in that the Vin seems to be out of sequence with the small groups of builds they did. I saw this with another car and it was one of the rare 6 cyl cars. Another odd thing, is this was built as a black car by Ford and Black by ASC. One would think the build would be quicker with same color. It also has dealer ac, premium sound and cruise. All of which conflicts with standard asc builds.

    Is this a 6cyl car? Anything else odd? Thanks.

    FYI, the buck tag is posted at ASC site.

    Thanks for the info.

    Ok, it just hit me. The reason this car is different is it was a regular production Capri converted after final assembly. Normal ASC cars would have been built as An incomplete car and have an ASC buck tag.

    In other words, this was not an option D32 car. The first part of the vin would be different as well, MH verse ME I believe.

    I think, but I'm not sure, and I'd have to check later, but the 1MH cars are all convertibles. 1ME are coupes or convertibles. And I don't think there were any 1986 1MH cars. All of them were 1984 and 1985.

    This one seems to have some unexpected options such as rear defrost, no ac and cruise. I have not studied the buck tags on regular asc production cars. I know cruise was available as special order.

    I would assume after delivery, it got the dealer installed ac. This car was getting expensive!
