Can someone help me with my VIN?

Got this off the orig bill of sale (on my gallery page), however I can't quite figure it out on the VIN decoder pages I looked up.

Thanks

Actually yes, it looks like it was built South of Canada, my other home. The restoration and conversion was done by some of my guys in Lima, who when not building boring machines for mining companies (giant tunnel diggers, size of trains to bore into mountains for mining operations) build muscle cars.

A lot of cars came into Peru in the 60's.

The orig bill of sale is in my gallery.
Any idea on the VIN?

I have posted a tonne of shots on the restoration and conversion to Eleanor on my photo website. I didn't take the photos, so I apologize in advance about their quality.

Sorry, I misunderstood your comment ( a function of when i read it late last night). Turns out you are correct, it was built in S. America apparently and the donor car was not , it turns out a GT 500. However, that is okay with me, given what I paid to have it built and after some homework on this board and others I am still very happy to have it coming.

Cheers!

Thats the VIN...on orig bill of sale from 1967 and export docs, I believe the confusion stems from where the car was built. I was speaking with a fellow yesterday who is much more educated than I and he believes the car was built in South America, hence the odd the VIN.

Cheers and thanks

Thanks snakeman,

Yes, they work for one of my companies. I have a good broker doing the import in Canada. The VIN is confusing, but matches the orig bill of sale (posted in my gallery here) and the export papers from Peru.

Will figure it out shortly.

Cheers and thanks

Hi there, yes, it was my confusion stemming from the fact I live in canada so south of the border to me is the US.

It certainly appears the car is of S. American build or Mexico, thats fine with me given the cost of the car, I just find it interesting to find out about the history as its my first American classic car purchase.

Yes, I do not have the car yet, as i wrote, it is currently on a boat from Lima to the port of Montreal. The guys who built it for me work for one of my companies in Lima, as such, I trust them and have driven some of their other restorations, they do great bodywork and engines, the interiors are a bit digy but they work with what they have in Peru. So it will be a fun project.

Correct, I have never been in the car, so I look forward to getting it here.

Nothing fishy, I'm just clueless about this era of car, this forum has been a great resource. Thanks for your imput.

Cheers

Thanks!

It will be a welcome addition to my garage.

 

Thanks mtrain, turns out it was assembled in Lima, Peru on Oct 1967..very cool.

The car is on the boat MSC ANDES and arriving Montreal 23/5/09....very exciting.

I posted some more pics of the boat going into the shipping container on my

on the second page are the updated pics...car went in dusty as the ports are filthy in Lima, customs held it up again ( more $$) and my guys didn't want to do a bad job of washing it ( I think they just wanted to go play soccer...)

Cheers

 

Thanks,

It turns out this is an extremely rare car given it was , it turns out, made in Lima, Peru by Ford in 1967. They didn't make many of them and this restoration is one of very few survivors. Working with some fantastic people at transport canada to sort out clearing customs under our antique car laws.

Will be worth the wait, my kids are very excited.

Thanks for all your help, I will look for door tag when it arrives.
