Looks like the VIN is too early to be one of the P "orphans".

Specifically, the S42932 since the '73 seems to end at S39999 and the 74s start at S60000.
I'm also showing a Y under color...but it's not listed on broncohio.com (skips from X to Z).
and B9Q under Axle (I know is 3.5 gears but what is the "Q"?).
Thanks!
Ok, you all are on this...so I'd appreciate your help because I can't seem to really identify what I'm seeing on my warranty tag. Specifically, the S42932 since the '73 seems to end at S39999 and the 74s start at S60000. I'm also showing a Y under color...but it's not listed on broncohio.com (skips from X to Z). Under body it says 94, model U153 (broncohio stops at U152) and B9Q under Axle (I know is 3.5 gears but what is the "Q"?). Any help with each item is appreciated! I've got the rest figured out...but these are stumping me.
Thanks!
'73 had VINs reserved up to S60000. Probably didn't quite get there but Ford didn't waste a lot of unused VINs.
I see "Y" as Burnt Orange in '74 on the PPG charts. That corresponds with 94 as the body code in '73, orange front and rear seats. It must be an explorer model.
U153 was the 4450 GVWR package B9 was the big bearing, 11" brake rear axle with limited slip and 3.50 gears. Q means it had power steering and a limited slip in the front axle.

Your vehicle was actually produced on October 3, 1972 -- seven days behind schedule.
It is titled as a 1972 model.Yours was built 6 days after mine. Inquiring minds would like to know - is it titled as a 1972 or 1973?
It is titled as a 1972 model.
My titled 72 is P89446. Don't have a Marti Report but tag says 10/72 production. Assuming a mid-Oct build based on VIN/Date shown above by sebvox.That’s got to be close to, or the latest production still titled as a 1972. Mine is as well and has the same interior. Did yours come with Ranger stripes?
