Codes have always been important to the automobile industry. When you think about how many parts go into a car and how different each car may be from the next one that roles off the assembly line, you can understand why auto makers put a code on every part that goes into their vehicles, along with even more codes to provide logistical information, like where the car is to be shipped when it is built. For classic Cougar enthusiasts, the ability to decode all those numbers and letters provides us with a lot of information about our Cats. With that ability, you can learn where and when a Cougar was built, what drive train components were installed at the factory, what options the car received and a whole lot more, like what color it was painted and which interior trim scheme was used to finish the car. The purpose of this section of TCCN II is to provide you with the information you need to decode your classic Cat. A FEW WORDS ABOUT ACCURACY While we have done our best to insure the accuracy of the information here, some data could be incorrect for specific applications due to mid-year changes by the manufacturer and the occasionally ambiguity of nearly 40-year-old documents. Please verify the information through another reliable source before making major repairs of modifications. One such source is the book, Cougar . . . by the Numbers, assembled by Kevin Marti. As we've said in other sections of TCCN II, this book is an absolute necessity to anyone who owns a classic Cougar or plans to buy one. For more information, visit the Marti Auto Works web site. |
