What's the deal with the motor and trans numbers? Did some plants put only the last 8 digits, and some the entire VIN number? I'm looking at a '69 Charger, and saw the entire VIN. I thought it was only the last 8 digits. What's up?

Many '69 model year Mopars had the entire VIN stamped on the eng/trans.

I am not 100% sure but I think prior to 68 they didn't stamp them....

I can't speak to all plants but since you have a Charger, you'd be interested what the St. Louis and Hamtrack plants did. From what I've seen, both plants used all 13 digits at least through late November. Early built 69's would have all of the VIN on the engine and tranny.


Seeking:

1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs.
