67 coronet r/t fender tag

[440satellite]

I just bought this car last month. I knew it was a true R/T based on the VIN, but has anybody
had a fender tag like this?

Thats pretty cool.

 

[gdrill]

Ya, that is cool.

So pics of this car are obviously mandatory!
And possibly a little info too.

 

[snakeyes]

agree

Never seen one like that. Pretty cool.

I have a car that says"special handling vehicle" on the build sheet and no sales code.

Not as cool as yours though...good score!!

I bought the car as a roller. The owner didn't have any history to share with me. Obviously was a race car . I have started the hunt for front end parts and interior, but looks pretty damn cool with those slicks I have to say.

 

[snakeyes]

seen other tags

That's what makes this site so cool, all you folks out there that can appreciate these things! I will post some pics in the spring when I drop my 440 in.

Typically cars ordered with this tag were for top executives in Chrysler as personal vehicles or occasionally as race vehicles. If that fender tag is original, what's interesting is that it doesn't list any of the other codes, and normally it would at least have the options stamped in addition to the "special order" stamping (like the sample pics snakeyes posted). Did you find a broadcast sheet?

Thanks for the info Paul. No broadcast sheet that I have found. I was just happy to find this old B body.

Not necessarily.

Typically the Special Order tag is in addition to, not a replacement for, the normal tag. The build tag would likely still be needed for building the car.

The Special Order tag is not that uncommon. As posted above, many fleet cars, like cop cars, received them. There are numerous reason why the tag was used. It could be due to paint, trim, or a lot of reasons. Without knowing the "why" (the reason for the tag)the "what" (it got a tag)is irrelevant.

Thanks for the information. That's why I love this site! You learn something new everyday. Though it is interesting with this tag that it's not in addition to, but the only thing on the tag. With out the broadcast sheet you have no idea what this car came with. I guess at this point you can make it what ever you want!
