Default Cortina Model ID Code
Hi Guys.

I am currently compiling a model code list for Aussie Fords & am having difficulty finding model codes for Cortina, especially TC to TF.

The codes that I'm referring to are the 5-digit codes stamped on the body ID plate. For example a 1968 240 2-door has the code 12814, while a 1969 GT has the code 12938 & so on.

Most of this info is in Ford parts catalogues & other Ford literature, badly sadly usually not in workshop manuals.

Does anyone on here have a list of these codes or have access to the relevant manuals ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards Dr Terry.

Thanks guys, that will fill quite a few blanks.

While I'm at it, does anyone have these numbers for late XF, XG & XH commercials.

Thanks again you guys are great.

There seems to be some anomalies in the TC model numbering.

Ive recorded a few codes from later series TC Cortinas that don't appear on that list.

When you look at them, there must be a series of missing models numbers in 1972 & 1973 but the above list has all TCs using a 1971 code. This doesn't happen with any other Cortina.

Does the parts catalogue agree with the above list (Cortina 71-74) ?

This list seems to finish 10/86, with no mention of late XF commercials or XG.

Yeh, you are right, might have to check the hard copy over the soft copy. See what we can find out..

Sorry that was my 'fat' fingers. My catalogue also says 88, not 86.
