For a 1969 Lynch Road Superbee, what code(s) on the fender tag identify it as a front bench or front buckets? Thanks.

6X X9


base black bucket interior

It should be the second line/row from the bottom. the third 3 characters from the left on that row 2.

Example of the three digit code for a bench seat in black H2X

For this example H2X H = High Grade, 2 = Bench (6 = Bucket seats) and X = black color

If it is originally a bench seat car it will NOT have the bucket seat floor pan brackets or mounting tabs.

Thanks for the info. What was throwing me was that the format isn't like other fender tags. After I figured it out, I called myself an idiot. It's coded for a console (C16) so it couldn't have been a bench car. Duh.

Don't feel bad when I was decoding my '69 GTX's LA assembly plant fender tag the first time, I thought the tag had a mistake or was I confused thinking because it had C16 twice on the tag that it was a stamping error or I actually had TWO CONSOLES shock shock Well one or both were correct as one C16 was for the 4-speed bucket seat console and the other was for the Scheduled Production Date of December 16, 1968 or C16. blush blush wink

As an FYI , there is no H6* Bucket interior code , even though the seat covers are the same as the GTX which is coded P6* , P= Premium , in the RR it's coded M6*... this started a bleep storm back in '06 when I pointed that out to a member posted a picture of a fendertag for an A12 car that was in England at the time that he was interested in buying.

Maybe the P vs M is because of the door & quarter trim panels and other upgraded interior trim (GTX vs RR) ?

Door panels were the same , only difference was the woodgrain on the dash of the GTX.

You could get wood grain door panels in a RR?

Door panels on a RR, and a GTX were indeed NOT the same, in 1969.

Nope, Door panels on a roadrunner did NOT have woodgrain like a same year 68 or 69 GTX did. Period

Thanks to both of you on the correction, My 69 bee has buckets with an M6 code and the door panels have the woodgrain the same as the R/T of that year , my bad for ASSuMEing blush the RR and GTX were the same ...

No worries - the bucket option for that era of RRs is kind of a curveball, as is the dash.
Base car interiors are like Belvederes, Decor Group cars are like Satellites, but with the Belvedere-level dash.
Bucket RRs still had the Satellite door & quarter trim & Belvedere-style dash.
That's my reasoning on the P vs M codes.
4-speed carpet color is likely another P item; that debate should be coming along shortly laugh2
