Sure, it's a '69 sportsroof, 351W 4V, 5191st one built at the Dearborn assembly plant.You'd need the body code off the door tag to see if it's a Mach 1 or not. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 - '72 Mustang Sprint - '94 F-150 Please remember our sponsors, Mustangs Plus, NPD, Osborn Reproductions, MyFordPerformance.com, and FordRamAir.com

9 - model year F - assembly plant - Dearborn, MI 02 - body style - Sportsroof M - engine - 351w 4v 105191 - production sequence number (does not mean assembly line number, rather means when it was put on the books for production).

No, small amounts of lacquer thinner on a rag, working slowly.------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 - '72 Mustang Sprint - '94 F-150 Please remember our sponsors, Mustangs Plus, NPD, Osborn Reproductions, MyFordPerformance.com, and FordRamAir.com

When the car is painted is normal to remove the tag then re add it? How is it held on? Pop rivit?

Lacquer thinner will immediately remove the black finish on a door data plate. The only way to deal with this situation is to purchase a new on from Kevin Marti. Yes it is correct to remove the tag. New rivets are available to reinstall.
