11739 is a 2.0 litre Ghia Sedan built between mid 1977 and the end of 1978.

The SIDO numbers stands for Single Item Dealer Order and is an internal number used by Ford to represent the car. Unfortunately it is also a number that is re-used and thus not completely unique.

Cheers

It's unusual to say the least - the last digits of a VIN number under either of the applicable standards are supposed to be a sequential number although those standards weren't adopted by everyone until the late 70's. PM me with the entire number and I will see what I can establish.

Cheers
