63 Sport Fury Fender Tag Info

[Speedfreak4268]

Hello everyone, I have some of the information off this tag but I just can't seem to fill it all in I'm missing some stuff. If anybody wants to take a peek and tell me what you think? Looks like a Lynch Road car to me 383 4 Barrel HP, special order, heater, red on red. Not sure what the 7 under B is or what rear is in the car? I've had the car for a long time going to restore it here soon. I know it has the original drivetrain and it still has the big block and 3 or 4 speed? And it's a January car I believe from the tag, so I would assume 3 speed? Any information would help thanks a bunch in advance! Here's a picture! 63 sport fury

Your car's scheduled production date is July 13, not Jan. If your car is a lynch rd. car( 4th digit in v.i.n. is a 1) then it is a 383 four barrel car with a borg warner 4 speed trans. The body code on the rad support should match the s.o.number on the fender tag.

The SO number is the shipping date. There isn't any "confidential" numbers until 1968. The number on the radiator support is a body code on these cars and it doesn't match anything on the fender tag.

 

[R/T Boy 67]

The s.o. number is part of the body codes from1962 until1968. In 1969 the body codes contained part of the v.i.n. The first part of the s.o. number is the scheduled production date. In this case the first four digits.

 

[Speedfreak4268]

Well that would make sense, the Vin starts 343112. So what rear any idea? I'd assume something sure grip, since someone ordered the car like this? Buy the way thank you as well!

 

[R/T Boy 67]

I don't believe rear end codes appeared on fender tags until 1967. You would need a build sheet to confirm what the car came with. Your body code should read 31 0713 1648

 

[Speedfreak4268]

It's never been apart, so I guess I'll find out the rear info when I start digging in lol. Maybe, just maybe there's a build sheet left, lmao! Never know, thanks a ton!

My '62s ring gear has 11/15/61 on it. The shipping date was 11/24/61. Don't know how far you're going to tear it down but that's a place to look.

Sounds like you have a nice car there!

On my 62s radiator support, it has MK-45-2
SO Number is 11/24 0166
BDY 542
542 might be transposed. It's a Hamtramck

Always like to see some pics of these...

 

[khryslerkid]

I know it has the original drivetrain and it still has the big block and 3 or 4 speed?

The 5 under the A is sales code (505) 383 1-4bbl HP 330 horse power

The 7 under the B is sales code (347) 4 Speed T10 Floor Shift

Does it have the hump on the floor, floor shifter, or is it a column shifter?

A is the engine code
B is the trans code
They use the last number of the three digit code

Don't have any info for the F

 

[Speedfreak4268]

Thanks, yes it has the hump, with a boot. I'll get some pics up, I don't have any off hand. But I will, thanks again all info appreciated. I've had a lot of old Mopars, but the tags get tricky, lol. Side note eventually here I'm going to be selling 63 Fury parts, I have quite a few! Thanks again! Gotta keep em alive!

This might be something you would want to check to see what rear gears are in it.MY 63 Plymouth Belvedere has it stamped on the case near the bolts.You may find it with a bit of cleaning. My car too was never apart. I can't remember who or where it was that I read about them being stamped.

 

[moparsteve636]

I've seen ratio stamped on a pad pass. side of housing! It should have a couple of tags, one for ratio the other is posi lube required!

I would add the words 'Supposed to be' or 'Most of the time' to any and all statements being made related to any option decoding and date coding of Mopars. There's ALWAYS exceptions to the rule and that's just how Mopars were built. This is a photo of my tin tag. It's a 330hp 383HP with a Borg-Warner T-10. It was built with an open case 3.23 gear and not built with Sure-Grip. It was built in Hamtramck. There is a 7 under the A code and there is no number under the supposed to be transmission B code identification stamp. My car is a early 63 build (block casting is January 1963) as it has the 2206324 (4-bolt valve cover) heads. Later 63 cars were built with the 2206200 (6-bolt valve cover) heads. I don't know if the 2206 part of this casting number is correct but the last 3 are 2-0-0 for sure.
God knows, Galen Govier has made a little more than pocket change interpreting codes the way they are supposed to be most of the time. Not knocking his craft, and he did help me figure out the intake manifold serial number on my 69-1/2 RoadRunner at the Indy Swap Meet years ago, but Galen wasn't on every assembly line, in every plant, every day. None of us were.

Yep, My favorite saying is, "Never say Never when to comes to Ma Mopar."

 

[R/T Boy 67]

I agree with above. I made a post above about body codes. I have checked out body codes on hundreds of mopars over the last 30 years or so, and I have found cars with no body codes at all. It is all about how the assembly line worker is feeling that day, or what parts they have on hand etc.

On a Hamtramck or LA built car the A is the trans code and the Q is the engine code I think. Lynch road tags are always different.

Correct.

There is a 7 under the A code and there is no number under the supposed to be transmission B code identification stamp.

The 7 under your A is for sales code 347, 4 speed, T10, floor shift.

The 5 under your Q is for sales code 505, 383 1 4bbl. 330 hp.

On my ‘64 Fury the SO# on the fender tag matches the number on the rad support.
