Introduction


The Mustang pictured below (bottom) was first purchased by my father-in-law, Buddy, in 1986, in Connecticut. Shortly after, he purchased a second six-cylinder convertible and sold the pictured one to my wife's cousin, Ronnie. Dad died in 1994. When Ronnie decided to sell the car to finance an in-ground swimming pool in 2006, my wife Sharon and I decided to buy it, and brought it home to Tennessee.
The car had undergone a cosmetic restoration before Dad bought it, and apart from some minor detailing since then, was still in the same condition when we bought it.
In June 2010, I found out it was a Sprint 200, Package A, 3-speed manual transmission. And after reading an article in the archives of the Mustang Times by Jim Smart, went looking for the Broadcast (Build) Sheet. I found it wrapped around the wiring harness behind the speedometer. After a brief search to find out what all the codes meant, I realized that surprisingly little is known or published about these documents. So I decided I'd try to attempt to decode it myself. This blog is a journal of that research.
All discussions below currently pertain to only 1966 Mustangs.

Trim

The 6th box from the left on the top line indicates the Trim code. My friend Veronica Sczbecki has upholstery samples on her May 3, 2008 Blog post: The Care and Feeding of Ponies.

Veronica also has a lot of other good information about 64.5 thru 66 Mustangs! 
And Klaus has some good interior photos on his Early Mustang site:

Standard trim codes with an "A" following the numbers indicates upholstery with no Rosette material in the seat cushion and back. Deluxe trim with and "A" following the numbers indicates the quarter trim panel was a one-piece design.
