    Awesome! Thank you! Is there anything different that the buck tag tells in addition to this?

    Yes, the buck tag has codes that are not on the door tag.

    Sweet. I will get a pic next time I'm out in the barn with the car.

    It's weird, the side facing out is illegible.

    Looks like it may have undercoating sprayed on it.

    I don't have many buck tags from non-Capri/Mustang, and I don't know a lot about the codes on them, but I'll do the best I can.

    I believe each dash (-) on the buck tag is a place holder for a code. The presence of a dash in each place on the tag is an indicator that the car is not equipped with the item.

    For example, your car has factory air conditioner, indicated by the "A" code...

    - - A R - - - F - - ---

    If it were not originally equipped with factory A/C that line of codes would have a dash in place of the A...

    - - - R - - - F - - ---
