Last year, a kid at our university bought a light blue mustang. He asked
me to tell him something about it. Turned out it had a build date of
August 17, 1964. I do remember it had an alternator. It had a couple of
other 65 traits, but I have forgotten them (something to do with the doors
maybe). Ford did that a lot - our 67 is an early 67 and has a 66
windshield washer setup - right up to the cowl squirters.

If your using the projected build date shown on the door tag or even the buck
tag I would suggest that these were basically a best guess as to when the car
was going to be completed. We have examples that show these could be off from
the real completion date by as much as three weeks. Also (just to continue on
the thought) cars did not come down the line in sequential order car next to
each other could and did at times have VIN's up to as much as 4,000 numbers so
213,134 could have been completed right next to 209,335
