Any "VIN decoder" that provides any OTHER information about that vehicle is getting it out of some database that tries to look up the serial number, and relate it to the build information. But EVEN FORD DOESN'T still have those details, so their decoder isn't any more-accurate than anyone else's. Less-so, because Ford recently deleted a lot of these old vehicles from their own database - check it out:

Of course: contact the company managing the database supplying that info, and tell them they're wrong. Good luck with that...BINGO!!! 
You're trying to sell it, but when someone asks how much you want, you say "that's irrelevant"???They don't care about miles, options, or condition? Go to the JY, buy an XLT carcass, and sell them that.
