looked at a 68 charger today, here is the fender tag info:

AB H M
54 7 6

H R XY
1 1 21

23 7 A1 TRM PNT V
50 8 4 C6X PP1 B

XP29 62 5 43 830 114931



MAIN QUESTION IS ON A 68 FENDER TAGS IS THE BOTTOM LAST 6 DIGITS THE VIN OR ARE THEY JUST AN ORDER NUMBER? (114931)

THANKS

could have been a Y6 instead of a Y1.

so what your are saying the 114931 on the fender tag will not match the vin number on the dash which was XP29H8B115798 and the trunk lip and core support had the 114931 digits which were the same numbers on the fender tag. so it sounds like all is correct if this is the case?

not sure on build sheet yet as i did not pull the rear seat to look yet, and thanks for the info, so i guess in 69 is when the fender tags changed and the last 6 digits on fender tags matched the last 6 digits on the vin. tag.

Yeap, unless it was an Lynch Road car then it still had the order number on the tag through '70
Good luck, Dan

A couple of observations...

62 on the tag only tells you it's a 383-4bbl. It does not tell you if it is an HP or not. I've yet to run across a documented 383HP in a 68 Charger especially a car with an automatic.

LR started putting the VIN on 69 tags.


Seeking:

1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs.
Over 2,000 thanks to you!

Thanks for the correction 69, I should have mentioned that I'm far from being an expert.
