If you do not have a door plate or a buck tag, then Marti really is your best choice. (they make reproduction door plates and body buck tags, so they are unreliable anyway. Marti is the choice for a concours restoration, but if you have the door plate and the vin, you really can get all the pertinent information for free

A few but they all cost a little....You can post all your codes and we can pretty much figure it out for ya too a point.....Some things in a marti report thou that you wont be able to get anywere...Where it was sold too..when it was made and such..And few options that wont be able to pick out of the codes on the car......Does your car still have a buck tag under the drives side fender?.And does it have the door codes still in place?..We can decode it too a point...And give you a good idea if its worth getting a marti report.

Years ago I wanted to find out about my 62 C10 so I called GM and they sent me everything you could ever want to know about that truck. But I highly doubt ford would do that today but might be worth a try?

Ford does do a cheesy version of the marti report...But they still want 20 bucks for it i believe.

I got my Ford 999 report for free about 2 years ago, looks like they're charging for it now though...

Build sheet if you're lucky enough to find it under the carpet or in the headliner of your car.

I just want to know what color it was originally and what Color interior was, but I don't have any door plates or tags anywhere. When I bought the car it was redone from the doghouse back body wise, but the hood was white, so I'm wondering if it was originally white.

Lift your carpet sill plate. You'll see the original color under the carpet or any interior trim panel. They painted the entire car inside and out and the after painters don't.

pull the back seat and carpet floor should have body color over spray

Mark you got me by 1 minute

no these guys painted over everything inside and out they did a good job of covering everything!

Only cheap way would be the ford or marti report to be sure...Thing is with a marti report there is no guessing....You will know what motor..trans..color..interior...and if it looks special enough its worth getting the full report...The basic report that will show you original color and all you need is only 15 bucks...And compared too the price to repaint it...I think its worth it if you are worried about being original or not.

A few years a go I called Fords Customer service Center (CSC) it took them 6 weeks and they sent me a document on my car, it was Free.

here is a Copy of it.

I've found the best place for the original cover is under the dash pad just behind the windshield lip. Usually, there's some overspray there.
