Saw the CL ad for this one a week ago, thought that someone would have posted it by now. My search on FCBO came up empty, though: I hope this is not a repost. Regardless, I haven't seen it before and the fender tag holds a few puzzles for me:
Rare 1969 Chrysler 300 convertible
As @polara71 has noted here, the 1969 fender tags don't say much. Consistent with Dave's observation, one would think (based on the tag alone) that this one is pretty low-optioned--yet it has power windows and cornering lights.
The car is painted a creamy white, but the tag says F8/F8. Here is the fender tag decoded, courtesy MyMopar - Mopar Forums & Information - 1969-1974 Mopar Fender Tag Decoder:
C: Chrysler
M: Medium
27: Convertible
K: Unknown
--> first puzzle: what is this? If this were an M, it'd be a "special order V8". It is a K, however, same as on Wollfen's car.
9: 1969
C: Jefferson Avenue, MI, USA
100409: Sequence number
E85: 440 cid 4 barrel V8 350hp
D32: Heavy Duty Automatic Transmission
F8: Dark Green Metallic Exterior Color
F8: Trim - Luxury, Unknown, Unknown Color
M6G: Unknown Int. Door Frames (I suspect G is for "green")
730: Build Date: July 30
111273: Order number
R23: Search Tune AM/FM Radio (5 1/2 Watts)
R31: Rear Seat Speaker(s)
P31: Power Windows
C21: Center Front Seat Cushion
B41: Front Disc Brakes w/Standard 10in RR Drum
--> second puzzle: the first letter has vaporized, anything else this more likely?
G15: Tinted Windshield
L35: Cornering Lamps
And here is the third puzzle: what is this shiny bolt doing next to a disintegrating tag?
