Wish Jim and Jim had done an electronic version but that was a bit beyond their scope at the time. My autographed copy is looking pretty sad - always told J Smart I should have gotten one for the shelf and one for the heavy use it has seen through the years

+1, that would be so useful to have something like a searchable PDF.  Kind of like how most of the Osborne manuals are now available on CD.

Vol. 2 on eBay. Someone asking $95.  Glad I have one, cause I couldn't even see giving $95 for it....Just me.

This is not unusual. I've seen $80 to $100 asked for Vol. 2. It's Vol. 1 that's expensive because it's the best data source for 64-66 Mustangs.

As an alternative, since Vol. 1 of Mustang Production Guide seems to hard to get ahold of, Kevin Marti's Mustang by the Numbers  will get you at least in the ballpark when estimating a build date.

Are you sure about that?  I didn't see anything detailing VIN dates in that book, which covers only 67-73.

I might be wrong, I am going off of memory.  I'll check again when I get home.  It was one of Marti's books, definitely.

I can see that, since there's no Marti reports.

It was actually Marti's Mustang and Cougar Tag Book.  It has date code approximations broken down by model year.  Again, it'll at least get you somewhat in the ballpark if the original data plate is missing.
