Consecutive Unit Number (CUN) - 6th Through 11th VIN Digits
The car's Consecutive Unit Number (CUN) is the last 6 digits of the VIN.
To determine the car's Job Number or scheduled build sequence, simply subtract 100,000 from the last 6 digits of the VIN.
For example, if the car's CUN is 164206, then the Job Number or scheduled build sequence is:
164206 - 100000 = Job Number 64,206, or the 64,206th Ford car scheduled to be built at the build plant during the 1966 model year. |
