It depends at times on the model year and package codes actually. Most AARs are M0.... cars, but it just means "sales bank" not show car as one example.

In most cases with cars with a letter VON prefix you need to know the Y codes to decifer the meaning.




I had noticed that most of the trans am cars I looked at had a VON that started with MO. That's why I asked the question. Do most of the T/A VONs start with MO like the AARs? Seems odd that some do and some don't. Weren't all the trans am cars sales bank cars? I didn't think you could order one to your liking.

I love the trans am cars, and am making a T/A clone to go along with my AAR clone. I also love the RT/SE cars.

Thanks guys!

Thats a factory Hemi Challenger convertible, its the one Walt Downer bought unrestored in Canada. He had it restored in Georgia, later sold it and it eventually went to England.... now is back in the US.
Its a non shaker car, Walt added that.

Thats me in the white shirt seen through the shaker opening putting parts on his table, Englishtown 1987.
As I recall most of that day you were trying to get this slug running right for your next pass

No problem getting the beasty to run,making it run over 8500 rpm is the trick.Went out and started it up today just to see if things were the same as when I parked it for the Winter.English town,they were the good old fun days and a trip over to Downers garage made you think how little of a collection of parts and cars we had.

Ok, lets say it's 1987 all over again.....What's a 1970 Hemi Challenger convertible worth? How much was this car trading hands for?

I heard the purple one sold out of Quebec went for $88k. I believe it was sometime around 1987 give or take.

That Green one was way over restored just like every other car Downer did.It had NOS everything period and I mean everything.I believe it sold for 250K.I could be alittle off but that is close enough.Not sure what he sold the other purple convt, for unrestored.

Must be a slow day in Canada,everyone take a day off work.

R - ????

Has anyone else seen this code?
I was told that it indicates an Executive Ordered Vehicle


That J5 Challenger was restored to the high standards of the day, however it needs to be updated. I saw it a couple of years ago and it was definitely in need of some help.

Still a great car though.

Rene's purple Challenger hemi ragtop sold for $65,000 US in 1987 or 1988 I believe. At the time that was equal to about $110,000 Canadian.

R for 1971 could be either Y22 or Y28 related. You would need the broadcast sheet to know for sure.
