Great info and thanks !

I'm unsure right now.

I have no other 905*** cars in my STL or Lynch Road data bases. I'll check other tags to see if I have any others. I have one source that lists 90**** as 'Special Order". The VON on this car signifies it was built outside of normal production for some type of special use, but I do not know exactly what that would be right now.

Research continues.....

here is a 922xxx VON
It is a fleet car

Thanks for the info. I never realized there was so much info in the SO/VON. Here are a few more for your database, only pictures though.
This is mine.

This is one from a parts car that I've gotten parts from.

Yea, it probably would have been a good car for someone with a lot of time and money to restore but.......

Would someone be so kind as to educate me on what VON and SO are? Or point me in the right direction to figure it out myself?

VON = Vehicle Order Number

This is the number given when the factory recieves an order from a dealer. It is the only way to track the vehicle until it recieves its VIN. Order numbers are sequential. Special order numbers are reserved for the manufactuer to punch in orders not made by Dealers such as Bank units or promo cars. In Canada order numbers began with a different letter than US orders to identify the regional differences in safety requirements.

The order process has changed over the years going from mailing in order forms to teletyping to faxing. online ordering with a closed system called DIAL came out in the 80's . Now its a Windows based application we use (and is constantly down or very slow) It is actually quite interesting seeing how similar the order system is today compared to 40 years ago. Even some option codes continue to be used as they were 40 years ago. X9 interior is still used today for Black etc.

A, technically, Shipping Order number, commonly called a Sales Order Number, is a unique number assigned to a vehicle that usually starts with the number assigned to the order form on which the vehicle is ordered. It is the administrative number used in 1968 and earlier to track the vehicle order, invoicing, scheduling and assembly of the vehicle until the VIN is assigned. The four or five digit number, depending on the year in question, is linked to the Scheduled Production Date to form a complete SO number and to further make the number unique.

The Term Vehicle Order Number (VON) is used from the 1969 model year forward but signifies the same thing.

Typically, the number is generated from the original order sheet but certain processes (installation of a sunroof in a 1969 Charger, special paint or trim), packages (A12 cars, Charger 500s, Daytonas, Superbirds, '69 M code Darts and Barracudas, 70 Chrysler Hurst cars), end users (fleet cars, cop cars), or applications (lease cars, dealer demos, show cars) will generate a specific SO/VON tied to the process or end user.

Depending on the year, the number can start with a number or a letter. The process changes in the 70's with new, unknown application letters used at the beginning of the VON. Starting in 78, you start to see single letter and two letter VONs. I have not seen or done any research on what those codes mean.

There are an incredible amount of nuances and applications to SO/VONs; far too many to cover in this post. I've been working with them for 10+ years and still feel like I'm only 60% there on the understandings and meanings. If you find a complete source of information, please let me know.

Thats not the original engine............it's a 71+ 318......

Wonderwagon, thanks for checking this out, man I love it. Jamaica Blue Poly with a white top. IMO white interior would be better but the blue is cool too. The only thing I don't like is the 904 trans. I don't know how easy it would be to find a B7 dash pad but I think this is very restorable. Wish I had room for this one. This is a great car at a good price. Hope someone here gets it.

How do we know it has a 904? Did I miss a pic or something?

I've heard of 904s in C-bodies but have never seen one, my '68 318 had a 727 behind it. I can imagine it in the early 70s when they cheapened to the 8-1/4" axle, but those cars got heavier also so would seem to be a poor choice for a 904.

Both of my low option '69 verts had 727's

I'm not sure it Matters, but isn't the 318 in 69 supposed to be red?

I agree, MyMopar.com shows that 69 318's should have been red. I don't have any Mopar documentation on engine paint, and have seem some mistakes on mymopar but not many. This car was build Feb 24, 1969 but IMO, that's not late enough to think that the engine plant would have switched to blue but that's a guess.

In 1969, the 318 and 340 both could be one of THREE colors in cars - Red, Corporate Blue, and Street Hemi Orange. There was zero rhyme or reason to this, and this applied to all car lines. Trucks were not affected by this, strangely enough. It really depended on what color the engine line felt like shooting the engines on any given day or shift. Back in the late '70s and early '80s, before this was even an issue, I owned several '69 Mopar cars that had any of those three colors from stock.

Here's a thread that's on point with that very topic. TSBs are also posted as supporting documents.

Didnt Street Hemi orange Begin in 70 for 340s?

According to the 69 Passenger Car parts manual, D31 is an A904 trans.

I've found a new home. A friend of mine purchased the car for a little north of 3,000.00
