Can someone decode this 68 Charger..I looked at it today and its not a bad car for the money...Hard to tell the paint color..Either burnt orange or copper..Black interior buckets w console automatic 383...No fender tag..And should the core support numbers match like all the rest??
XP29H8B250xxx......


1972 Road Runner / GTX 440 4spd Dana 3.54 Just about to turn 26K original miles..

A boat, a GMC truck, some Craftsman Tools, LOTS of Zombie Protection, and a few Goldfish..

If you love someone set them free..
If they come back it means nobody else wanted them either..!!

Not much to go on without a fender tag, but the core support numbers on a 68 do not match the vin, they match the shipping order number which would be on your missing fender tag. With the vin you posted, the number on the core support would read B8X and then the 6 digit SON. The color you described sounds like MM1 Bronze Poly, which was a pretty common color on 68 Chargers.

The color you described sounds like MM1 Bronze Poly, which was a pretty common color on 68 Chargers.




The trunk lip stamping (located on the left side under the rubber seal, as you look at the trunk, roughly 1/4 to 1/2 the way up from the bottom) should also match the radiator support stamping.
