Re: what's up with this door tag?
89 DSO Stands for Ford Transportation. Was the extra space on the tag used to place a certification sticker or tag similar to SCCA racing?

Re: what's up with this door tag?
Hey maybe it was a prototype ! Either that or the extra space was there in case someone wanted to write "Charley Sucks" on the tag.

Re: what's up with this door tag?
Not that I know(or care to know)anything about "Furds"but does that serial number tag have enough digits for 1968.GM cars always had 13, you only have 11.Is that normal or did ford keep their serial# short as to not confuse their owners.

Re: what's up with this door tag?
pete, good catch on the F and R
dajudge, the 89 dso is the key 12 bolt, bingo on the star ssteve, get back in your shop and get that firebird done, I need Frank on the LS6, Stuart is waiting patiently. Here is the buck tag, you will notice an S on this one where the F and R are on the others. The F 302 is on the apron, the S 390 is on the buck and the R 428 is on the door tag. Keep the guesses coming guys.

Re: what's up with this door tag?
"NOT FOR TITLE OR REGISTRATION"
Is that unusual to state this in regard to the VIN on this plate?
