Car has no eng/trans. My VIN on title is XP29C8B_____ THE C DESIGNATES SPECIAL ORDER 6 CYL. IT IS HARD TO TELL ON DASH VIN IF IT IS C OR G. no fender tag, car has buckets, console, clutch pedals. I'm thinking it may have been a 383 car. any ideas?

Humm i wouldn't think a person would order a /6 AND a console shifter. BUT a /6 3 on the tree I can see. Does it have the 4 speed hump? G would be a 383 2bbl. Again not sure would would order a 383 2bbl and get a console stick.

383 2bbl is G, not sure what kind of special order 6 could've been had if the VIN is in fact XP29C....never seen one personally. You'll be able to tell the difference between /6 engine mounts and V8 style tho. Or is the k member still there?

Look at the VIN on the radiator core support panel, it should be stamped upside down, maybe stamped right side up

the the other thing that throws me if it is a G= 383 2 bbl with a stick would be odd. I have seen on other websites that G is for 383 2 bbl and 383 hi-po. The K member is still there. The guy I got it from had a 440 auto in it. Looks like someone cut the 4 speed hump out and put in part of an auto tunnel in. It looks crude, definitely not factory looking.

What steering column is in the car?

column is for a floor shift car

Rad support won't have the engine code on it tho...just year, plant and sequence number. 383/4bbl would be an H code. Im sure some have been made, but ive never seen an XP29H8 charger. Kinda like an H code sport satellite. You'll have to dig and look for those tell tale signs of its former life. Alot more likey a G than an H, considering the shape of C and G.

Many "G"s have been mistaken for "C"s in/on Mopar VIN#s & engine/trans stammpings.

GG's numbers:
383 2bbl "G" (21,455 built - US spec.) & 383 4bbl "H" (19,013 built - US spec.) 1968 Chargers are common, but 4-spd versions are rare & 3-spd versions do NOT exist.

WAG - VIN# messed up by a visual inspection by some government agency's inspection & former 383 2bbl auto Charger modified/hot-rodded over the years to install 4-speed manual transmission.

4-speed cars have a "REVERSE" light on the dash after January '68, is there one? What's the first 3 digits of the VIN sequence (if you don't want to list the full vin)?
