69volunteer 84 Report post Posted April 25, 2016 Has anyone ordered this from Marti? I randomly was on their website a few weeks ago and they are now selling original dealer invoices--you have to provide documentation that you own the car. I got mine over the weekend and since my car was bought new by my Aunt, no surprise on dealer location. It appears that it was originally slated for a dealership closer to my Aunt's house but was sold to another dealer a little further away (she bought it off the lot). It appears to have a stamp from where it was 'checked out of the factory at the gate'. The actual dealer cost of the car and options some other stuff....pretty interesting. Has anyone else gotten one of these and know what some of the codes, etc stand for? 5 mandyse1, reginaqu16, stacierb1 and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted April 25, 2016 I bought mine from Lois Emminger years ago. They are sometimes called Emminger Reports, as she was the astute Ford employee who rescued them from the dumpster and took them home. Kevin Marti acquired them when Ms Emminger passed away. I can dig mine out tonight and we can compare notes. It's been a long time since I looked at it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69volunteer 84 Report post Posted April 26, 2016 that would be great! Amazing that someone thought to keep all these--or that Ford would toss them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barnett468 418 Report post Posted April 27, 2016 i have probably gotten over 50 of them . what codes re you referring to it would be easier if you post a photo of yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69volunteer 84 Report post Posted April 27, 2016 check out the marti website here: http://www.martiauto.com/eminger2.cfm They are 2 pages (mine was four because it was sold from one dealer to the other). I meant to bring mine to work to scan and post but forgot. Pretty interesting piece of history if you are into that kind of thing.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guillaume69 150 Report post Posted April 27, 2016 Bought mine from Marti in 2009. I think I paid $50 for it back then. It's actually what they used as the window sticker. It's now protected in a nice frame. I believe that if it is available somewhere out there, one must rejoin it with the original car. Pic below is an example (Boss 9...).

69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 Well, I remembered to dig mine out tonight, along with the Marti and the Ford CRC - and there's nothing listed for my Dearborn car that's too cryptic. Dealer, options, dates, etc. Lois charged me $30 for it in the early '90's. There's an $18 charge for "FDAF" and the shipping date is listed as "RC46". I don't know what either of those mean. The best thing is the car came with 4 gallons of gas in the tank -- $1.33 charge for that, or 33.25 cents a gallon. The Ford CRC report says my "F-code" was 460-4V, so I got that rarity going for me. Too bad the PO swapped it for a 302-2V, LOL The Connecticut dealership is long gone but he was a relative of Francis Ford Copolla. I tried to save the sticker on the car but it crumbled.

69volunteer 84 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 They still sell the window stickers on the marti website....doesn't look like it would be much different other than format. Below is my invoice. It is hard to tell but there are two stamps. One looks like it is just a reference to the original invoice going to another dealer (which I didn't post) and the other looks like a stamp saying "Drive Away Garage(?) Plant Security Section Dearborn Assembly Plant" JUN 27 510 PM '69. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted April 29, 2016 There's an $18 charge for "FDAF" and the shipping date is listed as "RC46". I don't know what either of those mean. Well, Google is my friend. I discovered "FDAF" is a regional dealership advertising fee. So when you see an ad that says "visit any of your Tri-State Ford dealerships", Ford pays for it and the dealerships pay it back with a charge on each car sold.

Your invoice was prepared in May (mine June--but my vin number is 11,000 higher than yours) but that date is 5 months later in October.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyS 12 Report post Posted April 30, 2016 Maybe the handwritten date of 10-8-69 is in the format: day-month-year. August 10,1969. This format is used by the military and is common internationally. August 10,1969 was a Sunday. Doesn't seem likely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your invoice was prepared in May (mine June--but my vin number is 11,000 higher than yours) but that date is 5 months later in October.... It's a stamp "Invoice adjusted for finance charge 10-8-69" The invoice was prepared 5/29/69, the car was built 6/4/69. I assume some accounting mumbo jumbo after the fact. There's been some discussions (I think on the Concours site) about how VINs weren't built in numerical order. The number was assigned when the car was ordered, not when it was built, which could be weeks or months later. But 11,000 Mustangs a month sounds about right.
