Canadian VIN#'s

[RickM]

I've been tracking the 2006 VIN#'s for the GT's going on ebay.
Abundance of 100-600's, and 800-900's.
But no 700 vins...not a one (yet)...
Do you suppose Ford reserved the entire 700 vin range for the 100 Canadian destined cars?

Anyone able to confirm?
Just curious.

Thanks,

Yeah, my Canadian VIN is 730 so it also supports your belief about the Canadian cars being the 700's. Clax - it looks like my car was watching the tailights of yours (729) going down the line.

Importing US Car to Canada

You might want to look at this thread hhttp://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1155&page=2&pp=10&highlight=Canadian. There was a point made about US cars being inadmissable to Canada even if they were modified to meet the Canadian specs. Apparently there is a Register of Inadmissable Vehicles that lists the US 2005 and 2006 cars.

Rick,

Interesting observation. I too look at the vin numbers of cars for sale. You brought to my attention what I'd seen but did'nt realize. Good mind you have. :cheers

Here is the list of Admissable and Non-Admissable Vehicles from US to Canada. You will notice that some can be brought in (with modification), as noted by the asterisks on the chart.
