Stamped Data Spec Plate Codes & Interstate Mega-Tron Battery - Engine Bay Photo
Stamped metal vehicle data plate listing VIN, body, and option codes mounted near an Interstate battery.
This is a close-up photograph taken in an engine compartment, showing two items. At the top is a portion of an Interstate brand battery, with the visible branding "INTERSTATE" (partially cut off at the left edge) and the model line "MEGA-TRON." Below the battery sits a stamped metal data/spec plate (buck tag style) fastened with two Phillips-head screws. The plate carries six rows of stamped alphanumeric codes, including numeric strings such as 12149, 226673, 288, 490827, 229377, and K37911, and shorter option-style codes such as G73, H51, J52, M25, CTD, C52, F33, F58, G01, G11, GG3, V02, Y39, A38, 027, K1B3, N94, E86, D36, WL41, and U8A, ending with "N94 END." The plate contains no explicit vehicle make, model, or year text, and no legend explaining the codes. A reader can use this image to record the exact stamped codes from the plate, which typically identify build/option content, though decoding requires an external reference. The photo is uploaded to a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria gallery, but nothing on the plate itself confirms or contradicts that attribution.
