Ford Letter of Authenticity

Have just received a letter of authenticity from Ford for my 1970 V6. Interesting!!
 
Error 1, When I purchased the car back in 1970 it was in its original colour, Diamond White, the compliance plate shows colour code R - Diamond White. The letter shows colour code R which Ford say is Copper Bronze (metallic), which isn't even a 1970 Capri colour.
Error 2, The trim code on the plate is N, which is Dark Saddle vinyl, the Ford letter says the car trim is N, however they list N as Light Saddle.
Error 3, The car was originally sold by Morley Ford, Yarra Bank Rd, Melbourne. Dealer code 3126. The letter says the selling dealer was dealer code 3126, but they list this code as President Ford, Elsternwick, Vic. I know it was sold by Morley Ford as I have the original maintenance schedule book that lists the dealer as Morley Ford, code 3126.
 
The option list is interesting, seat belts are listed as an option but also listed as mandatory, they can't be both.
The car had the following options,
47 - Delete hood pins
50 - Delete black hood
56 - Driving lights
60 - Delete Super Roo stickers.
The car did come with the side stripes and GT badges above the rear wheel arch. When I bought the car it was exactly as the option list indicated, since I have owned it the car has had a colour change and the hood has been painted black. As it left the factory it was possibly a fairly rare beast with the options it had.
Don't believe everything that the Ford authenticity letter, obviously their records aren't 100%, but the wrong colour and trim has to be some sort of finger trouble.

I’d be asking for a new letter with some thought put in. Just sounds like a careless Ford rep that compiled it for you.

I had same problem with my 3 Fords, and after ringing them with correct details, they re-sent CofA with correct info.
 
I always rang Campbellfield Melb for my 3 Fords as they were all sold in Melb

How do you go about getting this done? What is the address to write to and what to ask? Might be a stupid question, but I would like to get mine done without me sending it to the wrong department at ford.

I found it's quicker to ring them then to email them, they take weeks to reply. I didn't need to provide any ID and it takes 2-3 weeks to receive the letter.

Congratulations and welcome to the exclusive “Delete” club. Lol

Thanks!! I always thought that the delete option meant that everything was deleted ie black bonnet, bonnet pins, super roo stickers and side stripes with the GT badges mounted further back, however in 1970 at least it looks like you could pick and choose what you wanted deleted.

Dealers used to order the cars in delete form then add the stripes, bonnet blackouts etc, themselves. That way they made a few extra dollars. That will explain why your car had them yet the build sheet says it didn't. Dales used to swap cars between themselves if a customer wanted a specific colour or drivetrain combination, that may explain why it was delivered to one dealer but sold by another. The paint and trim errors were most likely the person at ford looking at a falcon list from the same year.

I had to have a bit of a laugh at the gearbox option though, "4 speed close ratio gearbox". Obviously nobody from Ford had ever driven a manual V6 and changed from 2nd to 3rd! Close ratio???
