Be patient!Thanks for the pics! That Polara tag is from a ‘69. Now if you could get the tag of the 300...
The tag date on mine is 6/11.
As you have pointed out, that's the same build date as @70 300 vert 's 300 'vert. I found a third!
The tag for CM27T0C252221, a triple white T-code 300 ragtop with a nice set of options that was ALSO built on 6/11, can be found here. Surprisingly, the build sheet included by the seller at the time seems to be for CM27T0C251178, which would be another 1970 T-code EW1 M6XW 'vert!
In any event, here is a quick decode for fun:
EW1: White Exterior Color
M6XW: Trim - Opt. Decor Group, Vinyl Bucket Seats, Black/White (in the pics, the seats look to have been changed to red or burgundy)
EW1: White Int. Door Frames
611: Build Date: June 11
301122: Order number
V3W: White Convertible Top
H51: Air Conditioning with Heater
R48: Power Antenna
R31: Rear Seat Speaker(s)
P31: Power Windows
L31: Hood/Fender Mounted Turn Signals
C16: Console w/Woodgrain Panel
P25: Power Left Front Seat
B41: Front Disc Brakes w/Standard 10in RR Drum
G11: Tinted Glass (all)
V7X: Accent Stripes, Black
S61: Tilt/Telescopic Steering Column
PS: The same thread contains the tag for CM27U0C188168, a black/F8 green/black U-code 1970 300 'vert built on January 26, 1970. More info on (and photos of) that E86 convertible, which I understand is now in Germany, can be found in this other thread. I had already referenced that TNT 'vert earlier in the present thread, but without the VIN.

OK, here is the tag of a third 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible that fell into my lap today.
CM27T0C222965 is a B7/B7/V1W (blue/blue/white) T-code console ragtop with H51 air, B51 disc brakes, G11 tinted glass, L31 fender repeaters, R13 radio, 3-speed wipers, and little else. It was built on April 16, 1970.
The car was already in pretty bad shape a year ago, and now it is for sale again but without its engine.

@azblackhemi's 1970 T-code 300 'vert with M6T5 tan/saddle all-vinyl interior, is missing its tag. The build sheet for CM27T0C13554x (last digit not visible) can be found here. Among options that one can decipher on the sheet are tinted glass (G11) and fender repeaters (L31). Several other options (A/C, power windows, etc.) can be guessed from the pics that Chris has posted in the car's main thread.
While we are on the topic of the last 300 'verts, here is the tag for CM27T0C243979, a B3 blue / blue / white T-code built on May 29, 1970. Last I know, it was listed for sale by Murray Park (back in March).

OK, I am on a roll with 300 ragtops. The tags for:
CM27T0C115983, a highly optioned ER6 red/black/white console T-code that @plymouth67 bought and sold in 2012, can be found here. It was built on Nov. 6, 1969.
CM27T0C115983, a GY3/black/black T-code 1970 ragtop built on Sept. 9, 1969 with the "right" options, was posted by @mdh157 in the same thread back in 2012. Mark, do you know what happened to that car?
PS: The same thread has info (1, 2) about @vidsal's L-code ER6 Polara 'vert. DL27L0D121786 is missing a fender tag, but Joel has the build sheet info!

So it is.The tag date on mine is 6/11.
(PS: It's kind of hard to see the build date from the photos you posted in your thread )Here is the tag for another T-code 300, CM27T0C247921 -- built June 4, 1970, just a week before @Samplingman's. More pics of that red/white/white convertible, including the original sticker and the build sheet, are in a thread started by @canuck62 when it was for sale last summer near Edmonton in Alberta, Canada.
Unfortunately no tag was ever provided by the Canadian seller of CM27UOC102170, an early-build U-code 300. It was for sale in Ontario back in 2016. There are 20+ pics on eBay and another site, but the tag is too small to read.

Now it is the turn of 1970 Dodge C-body 'verts. The following two cars, which were previously unknown on this board, sold last fall:
DL27L0D182194, an FK5 orange/black bench/white top Polara, sold last October in Ohio. The tag was posted by @Greg B.; it was built Dec. 29, 1970.
DL27L0D211393, an FF4 green/green bench/white top Polara, sold last November in PA. The tag was posted by @polara71 at the time; it was built Feb. 27, 1970.
PS: No idea where the cars went after the auctions ended. If anyone knows, please post!

IIRC that was a car that was for sale right near me, abt 25 minutes away (assuming I am remembering the right car). It sold but I have no idea where it ever ended up. I had exterior pics of it but not sure if I still do. It amazes me how many cars are out there that the owners hardly drive or are not involved in any organized activities.

The model changer over in that era was August 1.
The last cars of the model year would be built in the first two weeks of July.
The assembly plants all closed for retooling for the new model year in the last two weeks of July.
All the production workers got the same exact vacations. Two weeks in July and the last two weeks in December.
Production of the new model year would begin when the plants re opened in August.
The car with the date 826 on the fender tag was on of the first 1970 's built on 8/26/69.
The car with the 701 was built on 7/1/70.
The last production date was probably 7/17/70 which was a Friday

Thanks @rags for posting about CM27T0C169137 and for also alerting me to CM27U0C229501, a black E86 300 convertible built on April 30, 1970 that was just put up for sale by @challenger:

@Samplingman recently posted information about CM27T0C113847, an EW1/V3X/M6XW (white car with white buckets, console, and a black top) that was parted from 2013 through 2015. A second thread about that poor 300 'vert can be found there, as well, courtesy of @Big_John. It seems to have had lots of nice options (power seats and windows, console, fender signal repeaters, cruise if I see correctly, etc. -- though no A/C apparently) but the story is that its engine seized and that was that. RIP.
