I am still curious about the 1st '04 production date...

FIRST BUILT IN 2004
BUILD # VIN NUMBER PROD DATE PAINT COLOR
#1 1FAFP42R04F100018 2003/05/16 CX - Dark Shadow Grey

So, I did a search on the VIN (100018) and found the following thread:

http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/...ghlight=100018

Within this thread, it states the following (posts by Skoozo):

"Mustang number 100001 was built May 20 (2003).
Number 100017 is the first Mach 1 I have found, and it is not built yet. However, 100018 was built May 16, 100019 was built May 22, and 100020 was built May 27."

And…

"The complete VINs that I have found are as follows:

1FAFP42R94F100017
1FAFP42R04F100018
1FAFP42R24F100019
1FAFP42R94F100020

To get these VINs, I switched the 10th digit to 4 (for 2004), and just went down the list from number 100001. The VIN decoder does display them as 2004 models.

I think they might be executive cars or something because they all have the same owner name, and the warranty start date is the same as the build date. It also tells me that they were not delivered to a dealership."

Not sure if this helps solve the question though, other than inferring that VIN 1FAFP42R04F100018 was a pre-production ’04 Mach 1.
