Title: Vin. Numbers don't jive.
Post by: High_Horse on December 04, 2007, 06:28:56 PM
This 79 Pinto on E-Bay has Vin. numbers that don't jive with our decoder here on FordPinto. Is it working ok. Or is there something fishy going on?  1FTHX25H3VED07343

and that VIN is too long also. They're covering something or entered in a wrong number somehow.

I emailed them & they posted the wrong VIN. The right one is  9T11Y186261

Your 1979 Pinto 3 door hatchback was the 186261 unit built at the Metuchen - Pinto, Bobcat plant.
It was originally outfitted with a 2.3 I4 ohc engine from the factory.

Why, thank you High_Horse. I was bored so I asked them about it & they sent me the right VIN.
