Thanks for the shout out but I think Lefty71 and MarkLevi have it pretty well covered. I can't add anyting of value over what they've posted.

1970 Chargers were only built at the St. Louis plant meaning the VIN would be 0G. For 1970, the only big bock cars built at Hamtramck (0B) were E bodies meaning Cudas and Challengers. By bracketing 0B262520 by known VINs 0B262463 and 0B262565, we find that this block was originally installed...

It might make more sense to use the context Chrysler used in '68 and '69. Most Mopar people would be more familiar with the colors being called 33-1 Bright Red/Charger Red in '68 as well as R4 in 69. I don't think a lot of folks would be familiar with Corporate Red as a common term or concept of...

I don't know that statement is a fact. If you are referring to one of my posts, my intent is that factories like Hamtramck or St. Louis, two plants that made Chargers, would have the paint on hand as a matter of necessity. A plant like Lynch Road would not necessarily have to have the color on...

What are you calling Corporate red? 331? PP1 or ????

WM21HA8319705 would have an SPD of about 616 ish (mid June). 1968 LR VINS and SPDs go to at least 346XX and 717. Only tracking one type of make, model or plant limits the number of data points. The more wider the scope, the more data points and stable data. 33-1 was released for the Charger in...

Good point. I forgot to consider that. How does the first digit of the SO tell you the plant?

Maybe.... Let's work through it. Since 33-1 was a mid year release, if your car was built before the release, it could not be 33-1. You don't have a tag for the SPD but we can get relatively close to an estimated SPD by your VIN. If you don't want to post the VIN in the open, send it via PM...

Options come and go throughout the year. Some info posted online is dated. It's simply not possible to have ALL versions of ALL documents posted on line. It appears the V4* top was added to the GTX open list sometime in the spring. I have examples of RS with V4* from February on.

Yes. Shown on the order sheet as code 416.

Yep...A57 Rallye and J54 Sport Hood.

LINE 7

A57 will be coded on the broadcast sheet. St. Louis cars will code A57 and J54 on the tag. Lynch Road built cars will not. Both will code V21.

A 69 Charger R/T/GTX/Coronet R/T 440 automatic with 22" 053 radiator should have the 130 shroud. About 20 years ago, Bill Alphin used mine to make a mold for the repop market.

C= Jefferson plant so it's out of a Chrysler or Imperial
