[ASC McLaren ] Re: Interesting figures

618892 is a EuroCoupe, Oxford White. Received AT ascMcLaren on July
15th 1986 & shipped out on July 24th 1986. It's the 13th of the 47
EuroCoupes. They made 34 after it. It's one of 14 in color.
Regarding the Buck-Tag:-
618892 is of course your sequence VIN. 61D is the code for a Capri 3-
Door Hatchback. The "M" is the code for the 302 Cu In V-8 with EFI.
9L is the code for Oxford White, while the PW is Power Windows.

The HB is the build date of August 2nd H=Aug B=2 They built 1,977
1986 Capris AFTER yours.

Mustang took 93% of the build and Capri took 7% of the Dearborn 1986
model year build, which was 245,279, or 20,869 Capri & 224,410
Mustang.
