Special performance vehicle on door VIN tag
« on: August 18, 2022, 03:08:28 PM »
For 1969, which Mustangs had "SPECIAL PERFORMANCE VEHICLE" printed on the door VIN tag? Was it only Boss 429s and Shelbys? Thanks Chuck
Thanks, Chuck

Yes it appears that typically only the 69 Shelby and the Boss 429 received the door (warranty) tag. So  we would expect not to find the door tag with "Special Performance Vechilce" would not be found on any San Jose or Metuchen built Mustangs in 1969

Some Dearborn examples of performance vehicle door tags and the differences in the base door tag

From the top, Cobra Jet, Shelby, Boss 429, Boss 302



Talladegas would be another Ford Vehicle that would have received the Special Performance Vehicle door/warranty tag base
