Interesting label on centre console..

[BOON250]

I took the centre console out yesterday so I could clean it up and discovered a white label on the left hand side.
It was quite interesting and had the following details on it..

It said JOB 325 TYPE 4 WARM CHARCOAL

Then it had a barcode and my SIDO number next to it with EAGLE after it.
then it had 8TH Sep 1998 2:04 pm .

So is this only related to the console itself or is it like a mini buildsheet of the car? Why would the console be SIDO specific? is my car the 325th car built that day?

Any one else noticed this label when their console is out?

I love pulling the car apart and finding cryptic stickers like this!! sad eh! LOL :togo:

A lot of trim parts have stickers like that on them, used to help identify what parts go into what car when they're going down the line.

On the back of my doortrims I have something similar with "GRIZZLY" written on there in big letters (codename for XR8 Ute I'm told).

Must be factory banter... "the eagle has landed" and suddenly a Ghia appears!

i have grizzly on my door trims too.

i think it might be the nickname of the poor bloke that had to put them together all day

I have always wondered whether Fords have "build" sheets. Like old American cars always have them under the back seat. My mate has an EB2 and he found a paint and panel quality sheet under the carpet on the drivers side. Im getting tinted next week so I might pull the interior apart to see what I can find behind door trims etc!

Ford do still use a build sheets for things there stuck all over the place when we go to deliver them from the plant . even the seats have there matching sido numbers on them most of them are removed at the dealer ships . another interesting thing was that when you orderd your new Ford when I got my AU11 XR8 you could loggin to there web site and have a delayed live fed of the production line, you could type in you sido and id. and watch your car come down the line from the welding shed to the paint shop to the trimmers then out to the holding yard and in the case of the XR they had cameras at Tickford ware you could se the Mods from the engine shop and panel fittment bays being carryed out. weather or not it was my car or just one the same colour you wouldnt realy know .. how ever you could also down load pictures at all the different stages of the build I have a whole folder full here some ware , not sure if you can still do this any more, and I carn"t see myself parting with the XR to find out either but was fun at the time

Pretty sure you cant do it now, which is a shame cos its something interesting to have. I wish I had have been able to get the footage and photos of the ute.

Yeah I have Project Grizzly behind the driver's door trim near the speaker grill.

the SIDO number is the maid id used when going down the production line. because no number is the same it's the eaisest (spelling) id to use. its only a 6 digit number. try using the vin etc.

I have a roll of trim that I'm not sure from which Falcon variant it came, but it has some reference to Grizzly as well.

Last week I found $5 in coins under the carpet of my LTD must have fell out of someones top pocket JOHN

Grizzly = AU2.

However, the external memory mirrors that were developed for the AU2 LTD can also be found on BA fairmont Ghia and up, and the parts for these have 'Grizzly' labels on them too.

I'd be interested in more info on the Eagle name though.
