I am seeking help from pre 1972 Thunderbird (no BIN #) owners. I am thinking that my Seminole with the S/N SE96440 could be interpreted to mean 69 model and number 440 in production order. I have found a couple other thunderbirds on the internet that by reversing the first two numbers the year matches their year. Would you Thunderbird owners please help me determine if my theory is right?
