    For Sale 1966 Plymouth VIP 4-door hardtop

    Hi, Silver: Thanks for your response. I learn something with every tag, especially if I get some feedback. The FSM pages confirmed info I had found elsewhere and I will refine the report to show the "S" in the VIN specifically means VIP if a Plymouth. It is a Special 119" WB car built at a...

    For Sale 1966 Plymouth VIP 4-door hardtop

    Hi, SilverEagle66: That name and your description of the car and its history speaks volumes to this 86-year-old car guy. To keep my gray cells functioning, I've created a combo VIN/Fender Tag Decoder which I am now expanding to 1966 cars. Thank you for posting a rather problematic fender tag...

    DECODE help

    Thank you. The trunk release order code ends in a 7 (437) so no help there. Please tell me more about these seat belts. Why two belts in the same place? Are the belts somewhat automatically released or retrieved? Tied to the door opening? Very elegant.

    Body Data Plates prior to 1965 do not show the engine or other chassis line components such as brakes, wheels, differentials. If you post a picture of your car's Body Data Plate/Fender Tag, I will decode it for free and send you a report similar to the one below. Add the VIN to complete the...

    DECODE help

    Like Lt. Columbo--I've got just one (or more questions): How many pairs of seat belts does your car have? 2?, 4? 6? Do the belts appear to be original MoPar? They could be factory or dealer installed as they were not standard. MoPar belts would be (probably) black webbing, chrome buckles &...

    Need help decoding a vin

    Thank you for the posting. I am expanding my '60-'65 decoder to include '66 cars and would appreciate working with you on decoding this fender tag/data plate. First, I need you to scuff or sand the dirt, paint and corrosion from the tag so we can carefully read the digits and letters. What I...

    1968? Fender Tag Decoding Help

    Hi, Matt. Thanks for posting this interesting fender tag. It is from an interesting 6-window 4-door sedan which was available as a Newport or New Yorker. The tag is from a 1965 Newport and a decode report is attached. I had to do a little research to complete it an that is appreciated. There...

    DECODE help

    Thank you for posting and the query. My little decoder is under development and testing and did pretty good until it got to the 6 under the X. I see on other Imperial data plates-6's, 7's & 8's under the X. 7's & '8's define two or four seat belts in other '65 MoPars, but I am stumped by the...

    Another one followed me home! 1966 300.

    My first dumb question of the day: What do you call the seat type I see in your car? I'm thinking they are the standard seating for this model, both mechanically adjustable, could be powered, have no particular name other than split bench or buddy seat and are NOT bucket seats. Dumb ?'s #2 &...

    New here wanted to share my ride 1965 dodge Monaco 383 59,000 og miles

    Yes, nice car and thanks for joining us and for posting the pix. I would really appreciate receiving a pic of your car's fender tag. I see it will be very helpful in the development and testing of my decoder as your car does not have one of the SS trim pieces seen on most '65's--a little strip...

    1962 Body plate decode

    Engine codes did not show up on Chrysler fender tags until 1965. The fender tags, 1964 and previous, only contained body data--and some years, not all of that. Production Broadcast sheets are often found tucked in between the springs and jute backing of rear seat upright cushions. These tell...

    Fender Tag decoder

    Would you let me try to decode the fender tag on your '59 NY? Let me know about any obvious options like p/w, p/seat, a/c, touch tune radio, p/ant, swivel seat, flitesweep deck, seating material & color, external color & VIN. I learn from each example. Stay warm, up there.

    Fender Tag decoder

    As a Des Moines native and Northern Natural Gas retiree, I'm very familiar with temperatures in Mpls in winter. Typically bottoms out in mid Feb. We were married in the Little Brown Church in Nashua, IA 2-2-63. Groundhog Day was a beautiful Bluebird Day--blue sky and very cold but no wind...

    65 Imperial Tag

    Here are the 1965 Imperial paint codes and a decode report attached. Seem about right? I would appreciate any feedback or external pictures that might help define the "Moulding" by the "4" under the "8" on line 1. Door edge? Sill? Side? I note that some LBaron's have a nice, wide...

    1963 Imperial Fender Tag Decode

    I am developing and testing a 1960-1966 Chrysler Imperial combo VIN & fender tag decoder and I need to test it from time to time. So, I plugged in the data you posted here and fudged in some other to enable preparing a complete report. I can easily re-run it if you wish--with actual VIN and...
