Mustang Questions, Not for the Faint of heart!

I found my 66 stang has adjustable rockers on the 200 in it and i was wondering how normal a thing that was....

Also I have a Black block and this usually designates a '64/'65 model, does anyone know the engine paint color change over date?

My ID tag info is dated 05A, but my vin starts with 6... my production # is 00151, could this be the 151st 1966 mustang made?


What's y-all's take on this theory of mine?


Thanks!

THis question and the same one on another site has remained unanswered for far too long. I take that to inderstand that nobody knows anything about the 1st gen Mustangs....

Thanks anyway.....

If you car is 151 it is 151st car ORDERED for build. That is to say as the order came in it was assigned a VIN for build. Furthermore, was your car was built in San Jose? (R plant code) there is also a 151st car in Dearborn and Metuchen. The car was not necessarily the 151st built but I'll bet it was pretty near to it. It is highly likely that the motor is a leftover black one from '65. My '67 is 3904 from Dearborn and has a few left over C6# parts on it. It certainly is not odd for mid production changes as old parts get superseded by newer technology and practices. My early '67 had a washer bag and a center fill hole in the Diff, all things that got phased out mid '67 and I believe very late '67's got different steering columns and just to add to confusion the different plants would phase changes in at different times as their stock of old parts would run out and in fact often the different plants may use different parts throughout the entire run. ( Even in the 80's Taurus/Sables had different side mirrors depending on the plant it was built)

Not sure if it helps but I can't give you specifics by year date and plant etc.

You may want to find an MCA member that judges 65/66 cars as they will know all the nuts and bolts and finishes to a certain degree.
