What was coded, when it was coded, and even where it was coded on a tag varies year to year, plant to plant and even within the model year. Jefferson plant tags are unique. Their coding protocol is actually closer to the Lynch Road plant than other plants. If you have ANY 70 Jefferson tag that...

1. Do you mean Y16? 2. Agree. code 38 on the BS is found with many other Y39 cars. It's one of many codes used on BSs. The designation on the sheet is common and expected. 3. 4. Agree to the designation. Disagree with the possibly of it being a freak. IF that was true, then we should expect to...

What is the interior code on the broadcast sheet?

1) Who you calling 'nerd'? 2) IF we feed you more, will you share the results in a spreadsheet, not a screen shot, with the rest of us?

The lowest I have on file are in the 192XXX range.

"Quality control" is different than federal compliance. IF Chrysler knew hoods would be complaint, then there would be no need to check the hood for safety standards when the car came back to the factory and, therefore, no need to hold off on applying the sticker before conversion. The Hurst's...

That the assumed SPDs based on similar VINS are giving us a false sense of assurance as to an estimated SPD or actual assembly. Maybe the VINs do align with other SPDs but that still doesn't give us any real proof as to when the car was built. We're still working on assumption that the VINs in...

I agree...however...I'm thinking federal laws would require the door sticker that the time of completion at the plant and not after conversion at Hurst. As, essentially, the car before conversion would have been quite sellable to the public before they went to Hurst and would've to comply with...

I have over 9,200 1969 B bodies on file across all four plants and I have data bases for all plants covering the 1969 model year. So, I'm one of those 'guys' that can offer insight into data bases. Accumulating enough data to be valid is incredibly time consuming. I've spent 20+ years doing...

Yes. I don't have a lot of 0F cars, but I'm happy to exchange info.

The assignment of SPDs to VINs early and late in the year get a little wonky and here's a good example. Compare this car's VIN and SPD to two other early cars. They have lower VINs and later SPDs. (This is a good example of WHY VINS don't matter to production. A VIN is simply a number assigned...

I agree and I hope to God that when some of these people look at a GTO with three carburetors, they don't say "Wow. Cool! A SIX Pack!" We now live a a world where words, their meaning and the effort to learn to use words correctly changes week to week. We've reached "Meh. I don't care. It's TOO...

If we willingly accept terms like 'radio delete' and 'posi' why should we not embrace Sport Fury III also?

Would the letter "C" on the third line of the tag be related to the "C" on the B.S.? Yes. I'm familiar with the term VON, but not "modified VON". A typical '72 VON will start with a six digit number generated by the number on a standard order sheet. I'm using the term modified VON to indicate...

There were numerous two digit numbers and associated notations used at the bottom of broadcast sheets. For MY 1972, 01 = SPECIAL HANDLING, 08 = EXPORT, 10 = SPECIAL TRIM, 17 = SPECIAL ORDER, etc. These same codes were used at the various plants. I'm sure there are many more codes, one is likely...

I find the nuances in this hobby interesting and often confusing. In the recent post about the two 69 Fury convertibles and the documentation included, one of the cars, the Q5 Detroit advertising car, shows the VON on the invoice and tag. The Texas Y3 lease car shows a different VON in the...

I think of fender tags from long gone cars like a tombstone. They are the last remnant of something that once existed but no longer does. It is the only tangible item left that documents the uniqueness of that particular car. From a practical stand point, all tags are one small piece of a very...

Yes. Monaco is coded for sale in Canada via the C and the VON code. The fury shows U indicating built for sale in the US.

They are called salesman pocket guides. They, and others, are on HH. The 1970 Hamtramck Registry Library Page (1970 - 1974)
