Hi Everyone,

I've been reading this forum for quite some time now and finally decided to register. Of all the forums I checked out, it seemed to me that stangnet is the place to be.

I have a question I was hoping someone could help me with. I just purchased a Caspian blue 1964 1/2 coupe. It has a 289 4v and a 4 speed tranny. As far as I can tell, all numbers match. The one thing that has thrown me for a loop is that the door tag states "E" for the transmission code. Of all the research I have done, I cannot find reference to the "E" except for HP Books 'Mustang Restoration Handbook'. This manual states that an E code exists, however it does not specify what year it belongs to. For any of you who have this book, I am referring to page 24. I have no reason to believe that the door tag has been replaced, although I guess anything is possible.

I'm not sure if it matters but the DSO is Ford of Canada.

Anyway, I hope someone can help shed some light on this, as it's the only thing on my car that has me stumped.

Regards,
64.5

Are you sure the "E" isn't the axle code? Sometimes the stampings are moved over from wher they should be.

No, the axle code is 1 (3.00:1)
