Ok I bought a 69 rr knowing its not number matching. However the fender tag on this car is not decodable. After several websites I cant find anything. Vin tag shows lynch road Michigan, roadrunner. Im trying to find the original color of the car. Anyone know anything about the tags.
 
Lynch Rd tags are a strange beast. There is a site that may help you

Good question!

First off, have you searched for the Broadcast sheet ?
The Broadcast sheet is a 8" X 11" piece of paper usually placed underneath the rear seat between the springs and the cushion.
This lists every option on the car and more info.

Now in my opinion, if you have the original fender tag, you should be able to decipher it.
Perhaps under magnification?

If you do find the Broadcast sheet and you have your VIN tag you can contact: MMC Detroit Data Tags
 
I have looked for build sheet. Not there

I thing the fender tag is bogus
 
I think ALL Roadrunners should have a VIN with the RM21 or RM23



Hang on;
-Found this: "In 1969 it's hard to tell a counterfeit because the VIN wasn't keyed to the body numbers."

-I don't see any visual cues leading to an anomaly, it looks OK so far...

So, we know that the "Lynch Road" plant fender tag is somewhat unique compared to other 1969 Tags. The bottom row, to the left, has the 4-character car line and model code (same as the V.I.N first 4) followed by a 3-character engine code. These are followed by a 2-character transmission code, then the 3-digit build date and vehicle order number.
The 2nd line from the bottom starts with the exterior color F5 followed by a 3 character interior code and a 2-character upper interior door code.

RM21: Roadrunner 1968 (21 denotes 2-door sedan or POST, 23 denotes 2-door coupe)
E63: 383 CI / 335HP engine
F5 F5 : Color Codes (Grn/Grn)
M2X: Interior code
X9: Upper door paint

2nd row from top:
925: Engine=925 engine assembly code = 383-4bbl HP 335 horse painted orange for installation in a B body with a manual transmission
593: Axle=593" is a 3:23 single track rear. It is a non-sure-grip unit
603: 603 = transmission part number = four speed manual transmission behind a 383

So, I hope this help you out!
It looks good to me!
Green/green (top, 383CI 335HP (painted orange) 4-speed 2-door sedan Roadrunner with a 3:23-1 Non Sure-Grip rear end, painted upper door (interior) panels built at the Lynch road assembly plant June 26th, 1969.Cool car!

vin on dash checks out ok
 
I was going to say, doesn't the RM21 or RM23 specify a post or nonpost car? Or however Mopar distinguishes between a post or nonpost car, sedan v coupe?

Check my post (Post #8)
I've completed the de-coding...
It all looks great to me...except for the bottom row 626? I think its the build date?
Any help?
 
This is new to me a RR being built at the Lynch Rd plant? Is there something special about this car that it was built at Lynch Rd that I am not getting from the tag?

Nothing unusual about road runners at Lynch Road. My '70 was built there. All the 1969 A12 cars came from there, plus the Superbirds...
 
Yup
Lynch Road cars are cool!
Hell yeah!

There tags can be different, I think skrcsmith4 was unsure of a couple of thing..
Perhaps some "Camaro" guy told him some BAD INFO!

I wish my 70 Superbee was made in Michigan instead of L.A.
