I'm looking for a vin decoder on my 79 mark v, I want to see if it was originally painted white or blue because It's collecters series, but I have no idea where to look, I've checked google, but came up with nothing.

Hi Faust

Post the paint code from the VIN sticker and I will give you the paint color. There are four colors that the collectors series was painted white, dark blue, diamond blue and silver.

Which part of it is the paint code? Also, If it isn't collectors series if you could tell me that would be nice, I'm starting to doubt it because the grill isn't gold, among some other things...

edit: Meh what the hell, I doubt it matters, 9Y89S729525

Do you have collectors series interior?

I'm not quite sure, I havn't seen any other Mark V's up close so I have nothing to judge it off of. But, it's a Navy Blue crushed velvet (i think), with some THICK ass carpeting.

edit: Also, It doesn't have the 1/4 windows, I don't think any of the Collectors Series did, but I could be mistaken.

Hi Faust

Sounds like a collectors series interior, my collectors series also has the vent windows so some of them did ;)

Your vin number decodes like this;

9Y = Year = 1979
89 = Body Serial code = Mark v
S = Engine = 400ci (M-Block)
729525 = Sequential unit number

The paint code is in the lower left corner of the Vin sticker on the drivers door

In the picture above of my Vin stsicker it is the 38 just above the 53B

Unfortunately, I dont have one of those stickers, the guys who decided to mod this car really didn't think it through.

Hi Faust

I geuss there is no chance of a build sheet being hidden under the rear seat or trunk liner, of maybe behind the steering column cowl either.

Trunk is no, I stripped all the carpet out because it was completly stained with oil and what not and i didnt want to ruin stuff I put in there, rear seat is also nope, I'm not sure what you mean with the steering column cowl though, please elaborate.
