SN?

I hear this used all the time, what does it mean? SN

I too wanted to know and this is what I found:

In a book called "Mustang, the Next Generation" (McClurg), SN-95 was listed as the internal Ford designation for the FOX-4 (or revised Fox) platform. The 'S' was for 'speciality', Ford-speak for the Mustang's market segment, and 'N' for North America, the geography indicator of the people responsible for its engineering. The '95' was a program sequence number.

well how does one know what one looks like?

 

[TheUser]

the SN95's are the ones after the Foxes (our cars)...they ran from 1994 until 1998. If you wanna know what one looks like then go to the SN95 forum and look at some pics...you've seen them, they're not a special model or anything uncommon

Alternately, SN might stand for "StangNet" or "Screen Name."

 

[notsoswwuyd]

ok so the fox body=86-93 and sn-95 =94-98 or something like that?

 

[dastang2]

fox bodies are 79-93

 

[HISSIN50]

it is actually the fox chassis.

87-93's are fox 3's. also, SN pertains to the body style, not chassis.

 

[Asha'man]

Correct, Fox chassis is '79-'04 Mustangs, as well as Fairmonts, Thunderbirds, Cougars, and probably some I'm forgetting.

how about the ltd is that a fox

 

[Mustang5L5]

SN95 is the chassis designation given to 94-04 Mustangs.

It's a modified Fox chassis, but different enough to Ford that they gave it a modern chassis designation.

It means:
S = specialty
N= North America
95 = 95th chassis certified
