Default Ford Dealer Code 3162

Anyone know which Ford dealer was #3162 ?

It appears that Ford themselves don't know so hoping somebody here may be able to help.

Thanks in advance

Are you sure that code is correct and you don't have the numbers mixed around?

No that's the dealer number as quoted by Ford themselves and their comment is also "unlisted" so obviously now long closed.
Anyone?

I think Ford struggled for a dealership in the area. 1986 President Ford began trading, Nepean Hwy Elsternwick 3185.
It was part of the Reg Hunt Motor Group and the slogan was Reg Hunt Golden Mile of Cars.
So you had a shared site with Ford at one end and Holden the other separated by a small side street.
This was probably the second biggest dealer coup by Broadmeadows after Stillwell Holden then the biggest Holden Dealer in Melbourne changed to Ford in 1966.

Can you confirm the dealer code from anywhere else, possible the CRC person mixed it up as well.

The only code that has any combination of those numbers is 3612 which was Burnie Ford in Tassie from 2008-2014.

Prior to this Burnie Ford had a dealer code of 36080 from 2004-2008 and prior 3602 from 1965 to 2004.

When ever this a change in ownership the dealer gets a new code, even though it may be the same site, same name etc...

What era car are you looking for?

I think we can safely say that it's not anything like the effort that GTLEGEND puts into it.

This was posted in a Facebook reply to re Ford Dealer Codes.

Denis, five digit codes were for Dealers that had satellite sites. For instance 24560 would be the main sight. 24561 would be the satellite. Ford would class the Whole dealership though as 2456.

Hello all, I too am trying to find a dealer code: 2999 was also not listed by Ford on my Verification letter.

Any help with that would be great!
Thanks in advance!

2999 is Ford Motor Company Sydney Office, so the vehicle was first registered to Ford itself in Sydney. Could be a employee drive car, promotional or marketing car or the alike.
