Any Canadian Help??

[djais1801]

My car was made in Canada, I found an old classified ad from 2 owners ago that stated it was a SSP w/ a 318 originally..how can i verify what it came out of the factory with?
Does Canadian DMV have records if I get them the vin?

post up the numbers off the fender tag/buildsheet if it has one
and someone will decode it for you here.

the vin number will tell you a few things also

unfortunately it came with neither the fender tag/build sheet.

i know it came outta Canada (the brake drums still say made in Canada)..it has fixed rear quarter glass/no roll down.

vin: RH23C1R203131

thats about all you are going to get
without a fendertag/buildsheet

i appreciate it Flypaper!! So I am sure it was just a base model Satty, did they make SSP's with a 6 banger?

 

[flypaper]

that, i do not know for sure
but i'm sure someone will chime in to confirm.

i do know the 318 71 base satellite i parted
had the vin of
rh23g1g226903
so it could be just a base satty
but that just a guess on my end..

If the price code is high. It is a Satellite Sebring, not a base satellite. At least that is my understanding.

R- Belvedere or Satellite
H- Satellite Sebring
23- 2 Dr coupe
C- Special order slant 6
1- 1971
R- Windsor
203131- sequence number.

thats sort of odd.
the car i parted was 99% complete and in orig paint
and it did not have a sebring emblem/marking on it anywhere?
it did have a/c and 11 hd brakes and a
couple other options on the fender tag

 

[satman72]

A plain Satellite would have an L code instead of H.

gotcha
i know in 70 a RL
was called a belvedere
