This is one of these "geeky" posts about those little tiny details that I like to learn about on '65 and '66 Mustangs.

The original, assembly line Mustang rear valance had slotted, oval mounting holes. I have found that the Ford NOS (service part) valances just have round holes and the reproductions are the same. It is a possibility that the really early Ford parts had the oval holes, but I've never seen one.

| Date stamping on original 65-66 Mustang rear valance. This particular stamping reads "12 8 2C." The "12" represents December. "8" is the day of the month. "2C" may have been a shift number. The year was not used. www.VirginiaClassicMustang.com |
Like most all sheet metal on a Mustang, the rear valance was also stamped with a date.
I like these geeky posts. That's how we learn more from those that know all the details. :-)
