I have a 1967 Coupe, 289-2V, Sprintime Yellow, built in San Jose in June 1967. As far as I can tell it has a normal C-4 automatic transmission. As far as I know, it's all original. The transmission code is "0" (zero) or "O" (letter oh), which doesn't show up as an option on any of the data plate decoders I've seen. Does anyone know what this code stands for?

Probably a mis-stamp...

I think that "O" is the code for a 2:79 standard differential and that your C4 code "W" is to the far right half under the rivet.......

Yes! Also had a 67 cvt with the same thing. "0" is 2.79 Shows it in the little book,
"MUSTANG Secret Decoder Book" L, Durbin Publishing.

That's it!

The data plate has no code in the AXLE section, the "0" in the TRANS section, and sure enough the rivet is right where the W would be if it got shifted right. Thanks for clearing up the mystery!

It was VERY common for a Door Data Plate to not be stamped directly above the lettering. A good way to identify an Original Plate, IMHO.

I've never seen one that DID have the axle code in the right place.

Remember, at Ford, Quality was Jobb Onne.

If you get a door tag from Marti, the axle and trans numbers will be in the same "original" out of position spots! 7R01C.........Sounds like the axle code is over the trans. spot.
