Default VIN's

Guys..
I'm trying to decode a VIN number
Unfortunately, everywhere I go (free Sites) tells me its a Meteor etc
Many are crossed with US VINs and all Australian site are pay sites
I was hoping that someone here could clear up & decode the VIN for me

What I'm looking to buy is a:
Falcon Panel Van
Auto column shift
6cyl
Carby
Stark white
Dark grey interior
Bench seat
Barn Doors
A/C
Chassis & Engine are matching numbers

But looking to know if its 3.3 or 4.1
Looks to be just a std falcon van, nothing special

VIN is 6fpaaajgcmne36640
Hopefully the seller can find the compliance plates and send me a
photo, which will help too

Hopefully hear from someone knowledgable soon
Thank you
Mark

What year,pretty sure there weren’t any unleaded 3.3 litres,so if 1986 or later,should be 4.1

ETIS reckons it's a ute

Falcon Utility (FOA), 4.1L OHV Carb NA 6 Cyl 2V Petrol, Stark White
VIN Number: 6FPAAAJGCMNE36640

Also, Ford started using this format of VIN with the introduction of the EA, so around 1988.

Information is pretty limited, if you call 13Ford with that VIN, they will be able to give you more information:

Build date 6/8/1992

ETIS is probably correct as the vehicle was most likely repaired with the front replaced, most likely donor vehicles VIN.
