The first item I noticed was a large 8 on the front passenger side inner fenderwell. The marking was made in a white permanent crayon. It is said to indicate the vehicle was to be equiped with the 289 V8 motor.
The second item I noticed was on the lower driver side of the radiator support. This number (570) is referred to as the secondary rotation number. This number matches a number included on the buildsheet for the vehicle. This number was used to track the vehicle along a second production line for the drivetrain and interior portion of the assembly. It was also made with a white permanent crayon.
The last item I noticed was a set of build codes written in permanent crayon under the engine bay paint. I did not notice these until I began to chemically strip the paint from the radiator support. The numbers are:
5C - Coupe code
I - Lime Gold paint code
4A - Black bench seat interior code
The final code is a little higher on the radiator support and is D112. I've not been able to determine what this code indicates. If by chance you know, please post a comment with details.
For those interested, these were found on a Dearborn produced Mustang built on 04/21/67.

I *think* that's Buck tag and number which is the first rotation number.
Could certainly be wrong.
