First and Last Build Dates for Blue MM's?

[Blue03]

I noticed Marauder57's build date (2-5-03) was close to mine (2-4-03) and was wondering what the earliest and lastest Blues were built. So far the earliest/latest I've noticed posted was poorjoe on 1-13-03 and GordonB on 5-22-03. Anybody have build dates before or after these dates?? I understand the first Blues began 10-15-02 with the start of the 300B's. If you don't know your build date, PM RoyLPita with your vin# and he'll be glad to look it up for you. Cheers

2/6/03 for mine Blue with light flint.

Anyone have an interest in a blue MM registry sort of thing, to track cars built with options, etc? Maybe without any personal info made public.

Ordered mine in April 2002 and waited for the blue color MMs to be built. Believed to be the first factory order for blue, the only MM sold through Military Sales worldwide, and the only MM sold outside of US and Canada. Purchased at Camp Foster, Okinawa Japan.

Built with the first blue MMs during the first week of the production, in January 03. Delivered to North Florida LM in Jacksonville FL in March 2003 as a Military Sales car, considered a "courtesy delivery" not an actual sale by the dealership.

Dennis Reinhart picked it up for me and started the R&D, then too many mods to remember. Became the DR S/C MM #1. Still in process, so in a way the build is not complete, since I continue to find more things to change. -kjs-

According to OASIS, mine was built 6/16/03.

Looks like the replies cover from 5-30-02 (might want to confirm that one...was it 03?) through June 03 so far. Thanks!

Just so we are looking at the same thing, the drivers door sticker on mine only shows the Month/Year in the upper left (as text reads) of the sticker. To get the actual build day, RoyLPita checked it out on OASIS a while back. Your dealer might do the same if you ask.

Mine is 2/10/03.

My door sticker says 2/03. I don't know how to contact RoyLPita (or anybody else) with a PM since they changed this website a few months ago.

There's many ways to get there but maybe this will help PM Link. Basically go the Quick Links then Members List and look up the MM name you need. You could search to find a post by the member and PM the member from his profile. I'm sure there are many other ways and maybe some easier ones as well. Hope this helps some....

According to Oasis mine is the oldest Blue Marauder listed so far with a build date of 12/10/2002. So I have to go out and wish her a belated Happy Birthday. I guess I'll treat her to a new oil change.

I think a Marauder registry for all of our cars would be a good idea!

[vegasmarauder]

Ref the build date, look at any receipt for any work done by any Ford dealer and it is listed on there too. I have seen it on my receipts. Might save Roy's fingers a little work.

Ref the registry, I am not that up on computer based spreadsheet programs, but I think something that would offer a way to do totals of combinations of options. There can't be that many variations for MM's. I have ordered Marti reports from Kevin Marti on Fords from 67-73 and they list things like the car is one of "X" cars built. Sometimes they find a one of one combination too. We were going to junk a 68 Torino but the report said it had a competition suspension and was one of 135 built so we are going to fix it up..

OK, RoyLPita got back to me. My build date was 2/17/03. The "start date" was 5/23/03. So, what does "start date" mean?
