I really hope I'm not asking too dumb of a question. I've been reading how Ford has no rhyme or reason as to when a specific car is actually built. I've noticed a few cars that owners who have been fortunate enough to get their hands on, have the build number way different than the VIN they listed.

SO, my question is to those that have received their cars or to anyone that has had a chance to see one in person....have you seen anywhere on the window sticker or anywhere else that shows what the dash plaque number is? Or a way to decipher it from it any paperwork? Thought for sure, Ford would have something or way we could somehow figure it out. Even the range would be kind of cool based on those that have received their cars or seen one in person and looked at the build/blend date.

My reason for asking is that I'm sure we have all hoped and prayed that we would be that one lucky owner with the "350" on the plaque. Yes, I know you are probably saying to yourself...."How can this guy be asking this question when 99% of us are mad as hell that we can't even find out when our car will be shipped." :crazy:

I am one of those also, but just trying to do a little more deciphering and potentially find out the range or possibility of knowing the number on my dash plaque. Otherwise, I'm probably going to continue getting closer to insanity trying to figure out when in the heck my car is actually going to leave the plant. AND...probably join many of you with pitchforks outside of Flat Rock...HA HA HA!!!

Just can't get enuff!
On 2015's no deciphering needed... the VIN # equals the Chassis # since they were produced sequentially. Ford Performance even stated this.

Now the 2016's however... not sequentially. Has anyone with a '16 seen any telltale chassis # match on their Monroney?

I haven't seen anything yet that references the plaque number. There are a few sheets of paper from the production line that I have but that I have not read in detail.

If it helps figure out your range, my production history looked like this:
Blend 10/23
Body Shop 10/22
Trim Line 10/23
Produced 10/26
Released 10/27

My chassis number is high 400s. VIN is mid 300s.

I see that our cars were produced on the same day. Mine was built on 10/23 and VIN #849. Now if we can find a few folks that have received or seen actual cars and reference the two, we might be able to start guessing at some numbers :)

Do you know what the build date of your car was? I'd be curious to know your plaque number and which day it was built:)
