Body:
Which list? The list of 1985 vins of ASCs, or the list of 1985 vins
of Mercury Capris?

Carfax obviously has the master list (or a damn near complete one) of
VINs of the 1985 Mercury Capris. Putting in VINs that are slightly
incorrect as far as engine code, prompts you that it is a close match
to another code which is correct. Now this will not tell you whether
your car was an ASC but it will give you an idea as to what ford made.
