Ford Build Sheet by VIN

What Does a Ford Build Sheet Mean?

A Ford build sheet is your vehicle’s birth certificate. It outlines everything your Ford came with straight from the factory—engine, trim, color, transmission, and optional features.

By using the Ford VIN number, you can easily confirm the original identity, avoid fraud, and vehicle misrepresentation.

From Model T to the Iconic Mustang: What You Missed

From the game-changing Model T to the thrill-packed Mustang, Ford’s legacy is unforgettable. The Model T, launched in 1908 with a 2.9L 4-cylinder engine, brought driving to the masses.

Fast-forward to 1964, the Mustang debuted with a V8 option, sleek design, and impressive horsepower, pure muscle on wheels. 

These weren’t just cars; they were revolutions. One made driving possible for all, the other made it powerful, fast, and fiercely cool.

But today, the Airflow is remembered for being ahead of its time. It’s often praised for its strong engineering, safety features, and bold design, like the unique curved windshield and a front-mounted engine. Car lovers and collectors still talk about it almost 90 years later.
