Hello guys,

New a 1970 dodge challenger
The car has a door tag with the u code
Aswell as the vin code
Butt the fendertag is e87 sixpack
The engine is missing butt
I have checked the total tag and every code match the car
The only thing i dont now is the sixpack code

Would like to have some help here

Thanks

VIN supersedes any fender tag.

After 45 years, any kind of 'alteration' is possible...


No build sheet???

Also what does the fender tag VIN say?

Okey so never happend that afterwards the engine upgraded ?
Because the rest is perfectly correct and original ...
no Buildsheet ..

Could be butt the rest matches perfect to the car so dont think that
it must be a typo than...
dont know if therr is something else to verify ...

Any one can have a fender tag made up to say whatever they want it to. Believe the VIN.

Yep VIN is what counts!

More than likely, its a mistake on the tag from the factory. I just bought a 69 RR parts car that still has its original fender tag in place. It has never been altered and matches the body stamping on the core support and dash vin. The fender tag is R4 red but the car is all white. The booster is gone and there is white paint under it. Simply a mistake at the factory.

I almost bought a Hemi Cuda vert new.Only trouble was it wasnt a Hemi.It came from the factory with 440 but had hemi vin,tag,window sticker etc.It was all hemi except the engine.Brand new on the floor I could have got it for like 3500 out the door.Still kick myself for not buying it.Supposedly there is another known but I believe a HT.It is the same way.Rocky

I know of a 70 Coronet R/T convertible that the owner (dads best friend) factory ordered a 440 convertible and what arrived from the factory was a 440 6 pack convertible missing the 6 pack carbs and intake. Badging was changed at the factory. Fender tag, vin tag and door sticker were V code. Car still exists today and would love to get my hands on it.

Please post a pic of that tag and the car!

It has E87 on the tag , but what VIN is stamped on the tag ?

Picture of the tag would be helpful as asked.

Also even if the engine was upgraded , the fender tag would not have been changed to show such an upgrade. If the VIN tag on the dash has a U then the car is a 440-4bbl.

That is until someone has a new VIN tag with the engine code changed , there are many cases of this happening and one guy in NY that was a member actually went to jail for doing it . I used to have the 2 vin pictures on my computer ...

Can you explain how the Badging was changed at the factory ? with the Ramcharger option it would say "440" on the hood scoop for either the 440 mag or 6 pack, for non Ramcharger cars there would be no badging. someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Here is the one I just bought. The tag says R6 and the body is white.

I see W1 in that tag as well. Is the interior white?

Yes, the interior is white. My understanding of all the tags I have seen is that all the exterior paint codes are in the first position on the next to the bottom row.

That's what I thought as well. That's a really cool color combo.

Fastmark, although it doesn't have the V21 code, does it have black hood stripes?
A87 describes hood stripes as part of the package.

Good thing the RR didn't get painted R6, the V6R red side stripes wouldn't show like they do on white paint.

I've seen two '70s cars with a typo on the VIN.
One a B body, one a C, they were missing the engine code, had 12 digits instead of 13, fender tag and door sticker were correct.
The V code error was on a 440-6 SFGT.
