OK all you numbers guys, I need help with this The build date on my '68 Coronet fender tag is barely legible, it LOOKS like 514 but Im told the VIN is too high and I only have parts of the build sheet. Could it be 814?-but I though the cut off was the first week of August? Its a St Louis car, the sequence # is 246XXX, and the VIN is WS23L8G282XXX. If you think you can nail it down to within a day or two for me, I'll PM the rest of the VIN. And just out of curiosity, does anyone know of a higher 1968 St Louis VIN? Thanks guys!

thanks runner yeah that would knock out a May build date wouldnt it. Anyone know how late in the year STL went? It would be cool to know that I had one of the last '68s off the assembly line. Quote:
i dont think 514 = may 15 1968 is a out of line for a vin ending in 282XXX
why not?
depends on the plant-I have a '68 Valiant with a 5/20 build date and a 385XXX VIN from Hamtramack, where they built a lot more cars.

so 7/15 was the last production day at St Louis? That was a Monday. Maybe they were filling the last orders of the year?
I guess the "5" could be a 7, the 1 in the middle is the only number thats at all legible.
dbishop-would you mind PMing me your VIN and/or sequence # from the fender tag?

RangerDan, Did you try reading the tag from the back? Sometimes the numbers become a little more legible from the back side. Good luck Frank
