1999 Limited VIN number

[Matthew Moore]

My limited was in an accident on 11/4/2019. The insurance company is trying to pay me based on GT prices. They say the VIN comes up GT.
I have researched the a 46 is a Cobra. My three limited all have 45 in the VIN. Does anybody have a normal 1999 GT that has 42 in the VIN right before the “x”.
Any help would be appreciated

The car's VIN doesn't show options, only the model it's based on, which for the Anniversary edition is a GT. The code numbers your referring to match up: 45 is a GT Vert, 42 is a GT Coupe (my 98 has this code), while 46 is a Cobra Vert (47 being a Cobra Coupe).

You might want a Marti report to document that the car is a limited edition, but it will take some time to get one

You may want to PM @VOORHEES who can tell you what production number yours is and how to authenticate it to the insurance co


In my opinion though, thee 35th limited edition doesn't really command a larger premium on top of an average GT.

I’ve been debating this for a while. Life has a way of changing your focus and since I lost my wife last year, I’ve become less involved in things I used to love to do. Unfortunately, my duties here at StangNet slowly are going by the wayside. Giving out the production numbers for 1999 “Limited...

Thanks for info. I was hoping 42 meant GT and 45 meant Limited. But yes all of mine are convertibles with 45 in the VIN.
