didn't know where to post this.
any one have any idea on how to decode a vin number on a mk 2 escort because mine is meant to be a Ghia but the codes don't match what I've been told it's meant to end with 39 i can post it if some one wants or if some one can direct me in the right direction. |

Escort Ghia codes were the following:
11638 - 1975-6/77 11739 - 6/77-12/78 11939 - 12/78- Hope that helps - what's the number you've got? Cheers, Paul |

the numbers I listed are the Australian model numbers which are different to the cars VIN number. I think the model number should be on the ID plate if it's still on the car.
For the VIN number you've listed so far I've found that: CK means the following: platform origin (C = britain) production location (K = Sydney) 6P = Escort 4-Door Ghia Sedan 2000cc (CK build) So yes, it's a Ghia I'll see if I can work out what the rest is |

The 'R' would probably be engine code - 2.0 Litre 4 Cyl 2V Low Compression The 8991 is probably the production serial number. Not sure about the other letters though. |
