Enter a 17-character VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture for a Ford Mustang. Our data covers 20 versions, from Ford Mustang I and Ford Mustang Convertible I up to Ford Mustang Convertible VII, with model years from 1964 to present because the car is still built. The body style in our data is Convertible, and power ranges from 101 to 760 hp.
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so none of that shows up in the decoder result. On a Mustang you are looking at, compare the decoded model year and country with the registration papers and the number stamped on the car, and turn to a paid vehicle history report if you want to know what has happened to that particular car.

A VIN is built from six parts, and each one says something about the vehicle. Our guides explain how to read it and what it can and cannot tell you.
Enter the 17-character VIN and see the factory basics in seconds.
Our data lists model years 1964 - present across 20 versions of the Ford Mustang. The VIN of a particular car shows its model year in the 10th character.
20 versions, in 1 body style, with power up to 760 hp. Use the VIN to confirm which one you have.
The decoder gives you the model year, and that is the best starting point. Several versions in our data have facelift entries (1970, 2009, 2012 and 2017 among them), so the year helps you choose between, say, Ford Mustang Convertible V and its facelift versions. Confirm the final choice against the registration document.
Check that all 17 characters match exactly, then see whether the decoded manufacturer, country and model year (the 10th character) fit the paperwork. The letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if you see one, you have probably misread a character.
It is free and needs no registration, but it reads only the VIN, and a VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners. It also will not read VINs from cars built before 1981, since 17-character VINs are used on cars built since that year.
