On the Carlisle showfield this year, I met a new owner, Bill Bailey, with a clean ‘89 XR that we worked out was built the day after mine and only 9 VIN numbers away. This lead us to a discussion regarding the Merkur Registry which we had about 15 years ago.
Anyway I dugout the information, updated it and made it available for all to see and to update. You too may discover someone with a car built on the same day as yours!
In order to maintain some sort of control over the database, Noah Boehm, has kindly offered to act as the editor so send all your information to his email at the top of the Registry and he will maintain it.
Here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
Enjoy!

Re: Merkur Registry
Really interesting stuff compared to the Jalopnik article on total numbers.

The best way to keep your Kia from being stolen is to not have a Kia.
Re: Merkur Registry
Let’s see if we can get all 1106 Merkurs on the registry! If your car isn’t on there - please add it!

Re: Merkur Registry
The registry got sorted (as it is really easy to do in a spreadsheet) without sorting the Notes too, so they're way off. I can tell you I don't have a Duratec in any of my cars...
