    There is no way of identifying a genuine rallye pack through chassis number decoding. They were really just a basic MK2 with some added bolt on goodies and some stickers, unlike an RS which did have specific chassis codes.

    Having owned a few rally packs, some of the tell-tale signs are relay for spot lights on RHS of engine bay. Holes drilled in the front panel for spotlight brackets and wiring. These were don't at the factory, so it's easy to tell if the spotties were added later in the life of the car.


    Maybe not so easy to tell if they were added later, as my car had dimples in the front panel for exactly where the factory spotlight bracket holes had to be drilled.
     
    Good luck with the project.  I always wanted a Rally Pack, and still think about making mine a clone of one.

    Yes, email them at  customers@fordcrc.com.au with legible photos of the compliance plates, registration papers and proof of ID and they'll send you a report listing build date, original selling dealer, options fitted etc.  Worth getting for the low, low price of free!

    Oh, and the report will tell you conclusively whether it was originally a rally pack or not.
